Will give medal for help.

Answer 1

Factorization helps, do you know how to use it?

Answer 2

factorization of what? :/

Answer 3

Okay, for example, 24 can be written as 2*2*2*3. That's factorizing.

Answer 4

What would be the cube root of 24, knowing what I just told you?

Answer 5

Or how can you simplify it, I should say

Answer 6

why does it have to be written that way? it doesn't sound simple at all

Answer 7

Because isn't 2*2*2=2^3?

Answer 8

And the cube root of 2^3 is 2.

Answer 9

= 2 * cuberoot(3)

Answer 10

Yes, that is the cube root of 24. Now can you do the rest?

Answer 11

ummmmmm no -.-

Answer 12

What is the cube root of a^10?

Answer 13

how do i take this 2*cubert(3) and make it into answer

Answer 14

You have to apply the cube root to everything inside, and when the terms are being multiplied, you can do them individually. cuberoot(24*a^10*b^6)=cuberoot(24)*cuberoot(a^10)*cuberoot(b^6)

Answer 15

i entered that into my calculator and all it says is "true" ??? :(

Answer 16

either that or the answer is none of them :(

Answer 17

No, you need to do this yourself. A calculator won't help you here. You have the first part, cuberoot(24)=2*cuberoot(3). Now go to the next term, cuberoot(a^10)

Answer 18

um, answer is 2a^3b^2cuberoot(3a) ?

Answer 19

C

Answer 20

Yep, you got it. See, wasn't so bad right?

Answer 21

was terrible, i still don't really understand factorization

Answer 22

i figured it out by finding that C was the only answer which gave me "true" on my calculator :(

Answer 23

Factorization is really easy. Just find all the lowest numbers that multiply to the original number

Answer 24

Let me guide you through the rest. You have the 2*cuberoot(3) already. Now the cuberoot(a^10) is next. Rewrite a^10 as (a^3)(a^3)(a^3)a. What is the cuberoot of that?

Answer 25

cuberoot((a^3)(a^3)(a^3)a)=cuberoot(a^10)

Answer 26

Well yes, but keeping it the way I wrote it makes taking the cuberoot easier. For every a^3, one a gets put outside. That's all a cuberoot is.

Answer 27

You want to know a cool way of writing a cuberoot?

Answer 28

It's actually just equivalent to giving the things inside an exponent of 1/3. A square root is the exponent 1/2.

Answer 29

So in fact, cuberoot(a^10)=(a^10)^(1/3)

Answer 30

god i hate maths so much ;-; i have been struggling with math ever since they added letters to it (pre algebra?) the numbers just make no sense

Answer 31

actually nvm i had troubles before that, i remember failing my division exams in elem school

Answer 32

It doesn't come quickly for everybody, but it is doable. Everyone is capable of logic in time, some just don't see the patterns as quickly

Answer 33

For example, if you ever had to do x+2=5 and solve for x. All you are really doing is finding what x has to be to make that true.

Answer 34

i know that but i try so hard and i still don't understand the basic concepts of pre algebra or long division (or any hs math)

Answer 35

i have to go eat lunch, maybe be back later

Answer 36

I will guide you through anything you have trouble with there, algebra is easy to teach, for me at least.

Answer 37

Since I was in your shoes once, not knowing how to do things like everybody else, so I made my own methods, maybe they will be of use to you. Enjoy your lunch!
