Question

171/3 is the same as the cube root of 17.

True or False

Answer 1

False

Answer 2

If 171/3 * 171/3 * 171/3 = 17, then the answer is true

Answer 3

Cube root of a number is the number that when multiplied by itself 2 times gives you the first number. For example, 2 is the cube root of 8, because 2*2*2 = 8. 3 is the cube root of 27, because 3*3*3 = 27.

Answer 4

Yes to all that whpalmer4 laid out for you.

And besides, the cube root of 17 is 2.5712815906582353554531872087397

Answer 5

\[\frac{ 171 }{ 3 }=57\]
\[\sqrt[3]{17}\approx \pm2.57 \]

Answer 6

wait this question was wrong ... its

Answer 7

Yes it is, just as 7^(1/2) is the same as sqrt(7)

Answer 8

Er scratch that. Sorry, it isn't the same as the cube root of 17, it IS the same as the cube root of 7!

Answer 9

so its false
?

Answer 10

\[7^{1/3} \ne \sqrt[3]{17} \]

Answer 11

Yes, it it false. Providing that the question was "is 171/3 the same as the cube root of 7.

Answer 12

no, cube root of 17 not 7

Answer 13

Maybe this will clear things up:

\[\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}\]

Answer 14

cube root is the same as raising to the 1/3 power

Answer 15

square root is the same as raising to the 1/2 power

Answer 16

\[\sqrt[3]{17} = 17^{1/3}\]

Answer 17

No, I think you've been writing it wrong all down the line.

You first wrote
171/3
then you wrote \[7^{1/3}\]

And I think what you MEAN is \[17^{1/3}\]

And yes, \[17^{1/3} = \sqrt[3]{17}\]

Answer 18

it really, really makes life much simpler if you tell us the problem accurately :-)

Answer 19

its 7 ^ 1/3

Answer 20

The takeaway here is that a cube root (square root sign with a 3 in the crook) is the same as raising the number to the 1/3 power. Use that knowledge to answer your problem, whatever it is.

Answer 21

It's been said before, but explicitly, x to a 1/n power is the same thing as the nth root of x.

Answer 22

okay so i did it and its false :) right
