multiply and simplify by factoring (see comments for problem)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[3]{y ^{13}}\sqrt[3]{16y ^{14}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13 can be divided by 3 how many times?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4........

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\Actually, disregard what I said before. Just combine the radicals since they have the same index, 3, like so. \[\sqrt[3]{y^{13}}\sqrt[3]{16y^{4}} = \sqrt[3]{16y^{27}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now: \[\sqrt[3]{2 * 8 * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3}}\] can you solve it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont think so ...........16^27?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The cubed root says that anything out side is that to the third power. For instance: \[\sqrt[3]{8} = \sqrt[3]{2 * 2 * 2} = 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore, the same is with letters: \[\sqrt[3]{2 * 8 * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3} * y^{3}} = 2y^{9}\sqrt[3]{2}\]
