How do you simplify nested radicals?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

\[\sqrt[3]{3x/2 +\sqrt{x/4}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does that help

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

holy molly

geerky42 (geerky42):

Pretty sure he pulled it off somewhere

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

Lolol do u have the link to it?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3x}{2}+\sqrt{\frac{x}{4}}} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3x}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{4}}} }\)

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

cool ty ill try to figure this out

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\large\color{black}{ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3x}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{x}}{2}} }\)

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

is that the most u can simplify it?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3x+\sqrt{x}}{2}} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{\sqrt[3]{3x+\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt[3]{2} } }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt[3]{4} \times\sqrt[3]{3x+\sqrt{x}}}{\sqrt[3]{2} \times \sqrt[3]{4} } }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt[3]{4} \times\sqrt[3]{3x+\sqrt{x}}}{2 } }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

DO YOU WANT THE ANSWER LOL

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

wait why did u multiply it by cube root 4 instead of 2?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

Lol yes and how to do it xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

JK IDONT EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I multiplied TOp and BOTTOM times cube root of 4, so i didn't change the value of the function...

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you understand everything so far?

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

oooh okay i gotcha thanks

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no clue

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{ \sqrt[3]{12x+4\sqrt{x}}}{2 } }\)

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, you can turn the 2 on the bottom into a 1/2 coefficient up front. But there is no way to simplify it.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yw

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

kk thanks a ton

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean it can alternatively look like \(\LARGE\color{black}{ f(x)=\frac{1}{2} \sqrt[3]{12x+4\sqrt{x}} }\) .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

but it is either way a same thing.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You welcome once again:)

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

yeah i see, thanks once again xD
