Solve the following roots. Please explain!
\[\sqrt[3]{64}\]
@HopefullySuccessful ... reply pl
@shkrina Sorry, I had to go somewhere. Is the answer 811?
hehehe
I can't really understand her writing... :/
well, this is what I read as the original root => \(\huge \sqrt[3]{64}\)
you're just finding the cube root of 64 since 4^3 = 4*4*4 = 64, this means \[\large \sqrt[3]{64} = 4\]
or you can think of it like this \[\large \sqrt[3]{64} = \sqrt[3]{4^3}\] \[\large \sqrt[3]{64} = 4\]
Okay so I just find whatever goes into the bigger number the amount of times of whatever the smaller number is?
yes you try to write that number as a product of 3 numbers (which are the same number)
Okay, I see now. How about this one? \[(2\sqrt{18}) (3\sqrt{8})\]
multiply the outer numbers 2 and 3 to get 2*3 = 6
then multiply the numbers in the square roots: 18*8 = 144
so you should have \[\large 6*\sqrt{144} = ???\]
24!
no
the square root of 144 isn't 4
Oh wait a minute! i did that totally wrong.
11
\[\large 6*\sqrt{144} = 6*12 = 72\]
Ohh! I'm getting this now. Okay, last one I promise. \[\sqrt{50} \div \]
something is missing
5
Sorry about that
\[\large \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25*2}\] \[\large \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25}*\sqrt{2}\] \[\large \sqrt{50} = \sqrt{5^{2}}*\sqrt{2}\] \[\large \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}\]
so \[\large \sqrt{50} \div 5\] turns into \[\large 5\sqrt{2} \div 5\] and the 5's cancel giving you this \[\large \sqrt{2}\] So this means \[\large \sqrt{50} \div 5 = \sqrt{2}\]
