64^(3/4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show work please

OpenStudy (chriss):

\[\sqrt[4]{64^{3}}\] \[\sqrt[4]{262144}\]\[\approx22.627\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need the exact answer though. not an approximate...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i jsut cant remember how to evaluate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64^(3/4) = the fourth root of 64^3 262,144 = 64^3 the fourth root of 262,144 is about 22.6374

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not an exact answer. the exact answer is \[16\sqrt{2}\] but i have no idea how to get there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or: \[\sqrt[4]{262144} = \sqrt{512} = 16\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you get it. those are just numbers under a radical. i dont know how to get to the \[\sqrt{512}\] or anything. im so lost on how to break it down.

OpenStudy (chriss):

alright on the \[\sqrt[4]{262144}\] part, if you take the square root of 262144, you get a square root problem. The squaret root of 262144 is 512 so you get \[\sqrt{512}\] 512 = 2*16*16 so \[\sqrt{512}\]= \[\sqrt{2*16*16}\] The square root of 16 is 4 so if you pull the 16s outside, you get \[4*4\sqrt{2}\] or \[16\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (chriss):

detail on the first part \[\sqrt[\sqrt{4}]{\sqrt{262144}}=\sqrt{512}\]

OpenStudy (chriss):

so basically I took the square root of the outside and the inside of the radical.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

\[\sqrt[4]{(64)^{3}}=\sqrt[4]{((2})^{6})^{3}=\sqrt[4]{2^{18}}=\sqrt[4]{(2^{4})^{4}*2^{2}}=\]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

\[2^{4}\sqrt[4]{2^{2}}=16\sqrt[4]{4}\]

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope so much that now will be understandably sure
