Simplify: Problem is attached.

Here are the choices:

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Well, think about how else √16 can be written? try √8√2 right? because √8 times √2 is the same as √16 so now we have \[3\sqrt[3]{8}\sqrt[3]{2}\] how can that be simplified? *hint what is the cubed root of 8?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

above...where I put √8√2 and √16...those should all be CUBED roots, not square roots....all the rest is the same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8^3 = 192?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

not quite.... Cubed root, is not the same as "to the 3rd power" *example* Cubed root of 27...is 3....definitely different from 27^3 right? so what is the CUBED ROOT of 8? *what times itself 3 times = 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2? @johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

correct!....so now you have (3) times (2) times CUBED ROOT of 2 so what is 3 times 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

so you'll have \[6\sqrt[3]{2}\] looks a lot like answer choice 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cool, again you have made this very easy to understand. Thanks :)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

no problem! :)
