@timo86m

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

what do you have to do..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so is the x and y under the cube root..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk thats why i put it up here?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well it just means there may be a couple of answers... as its written the number 24 under the radical can be simplified \[\sqrt[3]{24} = \sqrt[3]{8 \times 3} = \sqrt[3]{2^3} \times \sqrt[3]{3} = 2\sqrt[3]{3}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

so if thats all thats under the radical it simplifies to \[2\sqrt[3]{3} x^3y^5\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got \[2x^3y^5\sqrt[3]{3}\]

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats the same answer... just the normal practice is numbers 1st then letters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i got it right?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yes.... I'd say so... based on the way its written.

thank you(:
