How do I simplify this:
(x^3)^(1/3)
@Mathematics

Answer 1

x

Answer 2

multiply the exponents so\[x ^{1/3\times3}=x\]

Answer 3

Ok I had that but wasn't sure if that was right... Cause when I took the 1/3 and made it my root it eliminated the power... perfect thank you

Answer 4

So using that same method can I simplify:
\[(-64p^8)^{1/2}\]

because its a negative other wise would i do this:
\[\sqrt[2]{-64p^8} \]
\[-8p^4\]

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

yes, however, the square root of anything negative will ave an i in it so\[8ip ^{4}\]

Answer 7

*have

Answer 8

oh ok can you use absolute value somehow with that instead?
