think of a number that when you multiply by itself 4 times would equal to 32

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large \frac{1}{2}\sqrt[4]{32}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[4]{2^5} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's not helpful.. lol but good work

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):

\[ \large =\frac{1}{2}\sqrt[4]{2^4}\sqrt[4]{2}= \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[4]{2^4 * 2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope that makes sense and that you can continue solving from

OpenStudy (phi):

I would factor 32 into its prime factors 2*2*2*2*2 (keep dividing by 2) now look for 4 of the same number. take those out of the 4th root we get \[2\sqrt[4]{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use this website really helps http://mathway.com/problem.aspx?p=algebra

OpenStudy (phi):

then multiply by 1/2 to get the final answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well do I just multiply the number in front of the radical or the radical too?

& Thanks so much y'all (:
