Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression in the image is:
To simplify this expression, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Break Down the Radicand
The radicand (the expression under the cube root) is . We'll simplify each part individually.
- is a perfect cube, because .
- can be rewritten as , where is a cube ().
- is already a perfect cube.
Step 2: Apply the Cube Root
The cube root of a product is the product of the cube roots:
[ \sqrt[3]{64x^{10}y^3} = \sqrt[3]{64} \times \sqrt[3]{x^{10}} \times \sqrt[3]{y^3} ]
Step 3: Simplify Each Part
- (separating out the perfect cube part)
Step 4: Combine the Results
Now we combine everything:
This is the simplified form of the expression:

Follow-up Questions:
- What is the cube root of and how does it relate to cube roots in general?
- How do you simplify cube roots of higher powers of variables?
- How would this expression change if the root were a square root instead of a cube root?
- What happens if and are negative? How would the simplification process differ?
- Can you apply a similar method to higher-degree roots, such as the fourth or fifth root?
Tip:
When simplifying expressions with cube roots, always look for perfect cubes to simplify first!
