That is the cube root of 32. 
It's asking, what times itself three times is 32
 
 OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but nothing that i have been able to come up with can do that....
 
 OpenStudy (hunus):
OpenStudy (hunus):
\[\Large \sqrt[3]{32}= \sqrt[3]{2^5}\]
any idea what to do from here?
 
 OpenStudy (hunus):
OpenStudy (hunus):
2^5 can also be represented as 2^3 * 2^2
 
 OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^5 is 32
\[\Large \sqrt[3]{32}=\sqrt[3]{2^5}=\sqrt[3]{2^3*2^2}=\sqrt[3]{2^3}*\sqrt[3]{2^2}\]

so is the last part the answer or is there something else to simplify

use the property :
|dw:1369497936472:dw|
