Question

i need help with a few questions simplifing radicals with nth roots. only 10 mins of your time please

Answer 1

question?

Answer 2

ok it is \[\sqrt[3]{-16}a ^{3}b ^{8} \] all underneath the square root sign

Answer 3

I cant read the exponents they are too small. could you just type it out for mne please?

Answer 4

sure

Answer 5

a to the 3rd power and b to the eighth power and its to the cube root

Answer 6

alrighty

Answer 7

is the -16 the only thing under the cube root ?

Answer 8

yes besides the a to the third power and b to the eighth

Answer 9

so the variables are NOT under the root?

Answer 10

they are

Answer 11

okey dokey

Answer 12

sorry my computer froze

Answer 13

So we could take the cube root of -16, but thats an ugly number, and we cant take the square root of a negative number so it has to remain under there. The cube root of a cubed is a. for example cube 2 to get 8, the cube root of 8 is 2. so we take a out from under the radical and we have
a * cuberoot(-16b^8)

Answer 14

good so far?

Answer 15

can u type the answer please using equation symbols

Answer 16

\[a * \sqrt[3]{-16b^8}\]

Answer 17

can u snwser some more? how many are u willing to do

Answer 18

we arent done with the problem yet!

Answer 19

oh

Answer 20

Hmm. maybe we are... Hold on just a sec and let me see if that is simplified. I think it is but I dont want to give you false info, I will re ask the question on here and maybe someone smarter than me will respond.

Answer 21

I was really far off. I'm sorry for even trying to attempt that question without having practiced it in over a year. I hope I didnt confuse you. sorry
