options are: a) 5 cubed root of 2 end root minus 2 cubed root of 3 b) 4 cubed root of 2 c) cubed root of 46 d) 4

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Can you factor 54, 16, and 24 into prime factors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll try

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Do you know how to factor a number into prime factors?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is A 100% sure, your welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find out which one of the awnsers i equal to 3.14510609

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea kinda @mathstudent55 prime factors of 54: 2, 3, 3, and 3 prime factor of 16: 2 prime factors: 2 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@samsterz how r u so sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im 100% sure, dont worry, no lie, trust me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if i get it wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no chance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets say i do then wat?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need to list all the prime factors for each number: 54 = 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 Ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here ill pm u what i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100% sure, I promise the answers I gave u for this question and the other one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here ill pm u what i did

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Just like you simplify a square root by taking out pairs of factors, you simplify a cubic root by taking out three factors. For a square root: For example, \( \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2 \times 2 \times 2} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2}\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For a cubic root: For example, \( \sqrt[3]{16} = \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2} = \sqrt[3]{8 \times 2} = 2\sqrt[3]{2}\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Now we use the prime factors for each nuumber in the cubic root: \( \sqrt[3]{54} + \sqrt[3]{16} - \sqrt[3]{24} \) \( =\sqrt[3]{2 \times 3^3} + \sqrt[3]{2 \times 2^3} - \sqrt[3]{2^3 \times 3} \) \( =\sqrt[3]{2} \sqrt[3]{3^3} + \sqrt[3]{2} \sqrt[3]{ 2^3} - \sqrt[3]{2^3} \sqrt[3]{ 3} \) \( =3\sqrt[3]{2} + 2\sqrt[3]{2} - 2 \sqrt[3]{ 3} \) \( =5\sqrt[3]{2} - 2 \sqrt[3]{ 3} \)
