Math Problem Statement

If a^1/3 = w/b^1/3, then a =

Solution

Given the equation a1/3=wb1/3a^{1/3} = \frac{w}{b^{1/3}}, we want to solve for aa.

Step 1: Isolate a1/3a^{1/3}

The equation is already isolated with respect to a1/3a^{1/3}: a1/3=wb1/3a^{1/3} = \frac{w}{b^{1/3}}

Step 2: Cube both sides of the equation

To solve for aa, we cube both sides of the equation to eliminate the cube root: (a1/3)3=(wb1/3)3(a^{1/3})^3 = \left(\frac{w}{b^{1/3}}\right)^3

This simplifies to: a=w3ba = \frac{w^3}{b}

Final Answer:

a=w3ba = \frac{w^3}{b}
