Math Problem Statement

Write the expression \( \sqrt[3]{\frac{64}{49}} \) in its simplest form.

Solution

The expression you provided is:

6449\frac{64}{49}

and you need to simplify the cube root of this fraction.

To simplify 64493\sqrt[3]{\frac{64}{49}}, we can break it down into two separate cube roots:

[ \frac{\sqrt[3]{64}}{\sqrt[3]{49}} ]

Step 1: Simplifying the numerator

The cube root of 64 is:

\sqrt[3]{64} = 4 \quad \text{(since 4^3 = 64)}

Step 2: Simplifying the denominator

The cube root of 49 is:

493=491/3\sqrt[3]{49} = 49^{1/3}

Since 49 is not a perfect cube, we leave it as 491/349^{1/3} for the simplest form.

Thus, the simplified expression is:

4491/3\frac{4}{49^{1/3}}

This is the simplest form for this expression.
