OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's so blurry to my vision, can't tell 5 or 3 or 8 :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry ill try to make it bigger give me a sec pliz

hartnn (hartnn):

1st \(\huge \sqrt[3]{16}=2\sqrt[3]{2}\) ok?

hartnn (hartnn):

and \(\huge\sqrt[3]{8}/\sqrt[3]{4}=\sqrt[3]{2}\) that should clear everything ..... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

did u get my work ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not the second one... i understand it.. but i have 4r^2s^2t.. in the nominator.. why the cube root of 8 divided by 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r the cube root of 4?

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, sorry cube root of 2 in denom. which gives u cube root of 4 in num.....

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge\sqrt[3]{8}/\sqrt[3]{2}=\sqrt[3]{4}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it sorry... i was thinking if i divide 8 and 16 by 4= 8/4=2 and 16/4=4 but in the answe i have 4/2?

hartnn (hartnn):

first of all u just took out 16 outside cube root..did u notice that?

hartnn (hartnn):

wouldn't it be \(\sqrt[3]16\) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, then i dont take them out neither in the denominator or nominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge\frac{\sqrt[3]8}{\sqrt[3]16}=\frac{\sqrt[3]4}{\sqrt[3]8}=\frac{\sqrt[3]4}{2}\) making sense ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it!:) thank you

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome :)
