OpenStudy (anonymous):

did you come up with \[-8x^3y^5\]

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

It actually depends on the values of x and y if it is real or not. But the negative sign here would give you a complex number! :D So the answer would be 8yx^4√x * i Understood? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

possible answers are: not a real number, \[-8x^3y^5\] \[8x^3y^5\] or \[-9x^4y^6\]

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Not a real number! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool, thanks

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

There is no real sqrt of a negative number!! :)

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

Understood right? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so this one is Not A Real NUmber as well.... \[\sqrt[3]{\frac{ -1 }{ 343 }}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):

No this one is CUBE ROOT!! So the answer should be -1/7 because (-1/7)^3 = -1/343 And thus it's cube root is -1/7. Understood? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it
