Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given expression is:
[ \sqrt[3]{y^x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{2x}} ]
To simplify this, we can use the property of radicals and exponents. Specifically, for cube roots:
[ \sqrt[3]{a} \cdot \sqrt[3]{b} = \sqrt[3]{a \cdot b} ]
Applying this property:
[ \sqrt[3]{y^x} \cdot \sqrt[3]{y^{2x}} = \sqrt[3]{y^x \cdot y^{2x}} ]
Since , we now have:
The cube root of is . Therefore, the simplified expression is:

Here are some related questions to explore:
- How can we generalize the rule for multiplying radicals with different bases?
- What happens if the index of the root is different (e.g., 4th or 5th root)?
- How would the solution change if were negative or a fraction?
- Can you simplify expressions with different radical indices without converting them?
- How does this radical simplification connect to logarithms?
Tip: When simplifying radicals, always look for opportunities to combine exponents before applying root properties!
