Rationalize the denominator. Assume the variable is positive. PLEASE HELP!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[7/\sqrt[3]{98y}\]

OpenStudy (chaise):

\[\frac{7}{\sqrt[3]{98y}} = \frac{7}{98y ^{2/3}}\] Is this what you mean be rationalised? No square root symbol in the denominator? Remember that you can now bring it to the numerator by the rule: A^(-n) = 1/a^n

OpenStudy (chaise):

Oh, my bad. This should be 7/98y^(1/3) rather than (2/3). My mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...?

OpenStudy (chaise):

\[\sqrt{x}= \sqrt[2]{x}=x ^{1/2}\] When you have: \[\sqrt[3]{98y}=98y ^{1/3}\] Does this make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not correct. :/

OpenStudy (chaise):

What is the answer? Is the answer: \[7\times98y ^{-\frac{1}{3}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/(98y)^(1/3) = 7*(98)^(2/3)/98y = (98)^(2/3)/14y
