Math Problem Statement

Solve cube root of -64 and write x^(3/4) as a radical expression

Solution

Let's address both questions from the images you've provided.

Question 1: Solve 643\sqrt[3]{-64}

The cube root of a number is the value that, when cubed, gives the original number. In this case, we are dealing with a negative number, and the cube root of a negative number is also negative.

The cube root of 64-64 is calculated as: 643=4\sqrt[3]{-64} = -4 because (4)×(4)×(4)=64(-4) \times (-4) \times (-4) = -64.

So the answer is: 4\boxed{-4}

Question 2: Write 34x\frac{3}{4}x as a radical expression

We need to express x34x^{\frac{3}{4}} in radical form. The general form of converting exponents to radicals is: xmn=xmnx^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^m} In this case, x34x^{\frac{3}{4}} becomes: x34=x34x^{\frac{3}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^3} Thus, the radical form of x34x^{\frac{3}{4}} is: x34\boxed{\sqrt[4]{x^3}}

  5. How do fractional exponents behave when multiplied?

Tip: When dealing with fractional exponents, remember that the numerator represents the power, and the denominator represents the root.
