whats the answer to this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a profound question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[5]{192s ^{12}t ^{20}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hard to read . . is that fifth-root of 192 s^12 t^30 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that a 30? It looks almost like a 3U, but I'm guessing it's 30...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cliff yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, you can't do much with the 192 because it has no 5th-power factors. The s^12 and the t^30 can be factored into s^2*(s^5)^2 and (t^5)^6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops, sorry, 192 does have a 5th-power factor. 192=6*2^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does the * means to multiply it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, * means multiplication. So what you have is \[\large \sqrt[5]{192s^{12}t^{30}} =\sqrt[5]{6\times 2^5 \times s^2 \times (s^5)^2 \times (t^5)^6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So ill have 2 fifth root 6s^14 t^11
