Question

(8x^3)^1/15

Simplify by reducing the index of the radical.

Answer 1

I just want to know if the ^3 affects the 8 as well letting me lower the index of the whole thing.

Answer 2

No. The exponent of 8 is only on x.

Answer 3

The possible answers are: A. 1/32x B. (2x)^1/5 C. 2(2x)^1/5 D. (2x)^1/3

Answer 4

So you would do 8^1/15 and x^3?

Answer 5

Both the 8 and the x^3 have to be raised to the 1/15 power.
Also, you can write 8 as 2^(1/3)
