I;ll post the question down below.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Choose the equivalent value \[\sqrt[3]{18}\] (a) \[\sqrt[9]{2}\] (b) \[\sqrt[3]{2}\] (c) \[\sqrt[3]{6}\] (d) \[\sqrt[9]{3}\] I don't know what to do..

OpenStudy (phi):

are you sure it is 18 ? none of your choices are close

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup im sure.

OpenStudy (phi):

it looks like you typed the question wrong (this is the only way to make sense of it) there is a BIG difference between \[ \sqrt[3]{18} \] and \[ 3 \sqrt{18} \] the first means the "cube root of 18" the second means 3 times the square root of 18 if we go with the 2nd version, write 18 as 3*3*2 \[ 3 \sqrt{3\cdot 3 \cdot 2} \] "pull out" the pairs of 3's from the square root, and put one of the 3's outside: \[ 3 \cdot 3\sqrt{ 2} \] 3 times 3 is 9 so this is the same as \[ 9 \sqrt{2} \] in your choices you have \[ \sqrt[9]{2} \] but if that really means \[ 3 \sqrt{2} \] it is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh....thanks..

OpenStudy (phi):

** last line should say but if that really means \[ 9 \sqrt{2} \] it is the answer
