someone explain this expression

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

OpenStudy (jtvatsim):

It's the cube root of 64 times a raised to the 16th power. Although, are you getting at something deeper?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

i get the fact that cube root of 64=4 but not sure bout the rest

OpenStudy (freckles):

so your problem is this part? \[\sqrt[3]{a^{16}}\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

acutally i think i got it

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

u can make the radical beneath to have a^15(a)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

that translates to the answer

OpenStudy (freckles):

\[a^\frac{16}{3}=a^{\frac{3(5)+1}{3}}\] I would look for how many 3's are in 16

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh and yes you got it

OpenStudy (freckles):

now you can just divide your exponent junk by 3

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yep thanks
