Question

Which number in the monomial 215x18y3z21 needs to be changed to make it a perfect cube?

Answer 1

Remember
xyz=(x)(y)(z)
if x and y and z are all perfect cubes, xyz is also a perfect cube

remmeber
(x^n)^m=x^(mn)
so if it is perfect cube it can be factored into
(x^n)^3, such taht n is a whole number
basiclaly, see if the expoent is divisble by 3

all of them should be perfect cubes

215x^18y^3z^21

split them up to see which ones need changing

215=5*43, not  a perfect cube
could be changed to 6^3, which is 216

x^18=(x^6)^3

y^3=y^3
z^21=(z^7)^3

the 215 needs to be changed
