Question

Combine and simplify the following radical expression ASAP ASAP ASAP ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt[3]{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Our expression is: $\frac{1}{3} \sqrt[3]{81}$.

Let's focus on the cube root of 81 first. What's the prime factorisation of 81? It's simply: 3 * 3 * 3 * 3, or $3^3*3$. Put this in for 81:

$\sqrt[3]{81} =\sqrt[3]{3^3*3}=\sqrt[3]{3^3} *\sqrt[3]{3}$

We know that the cube root of 3 cubed will cancel out to become 3, but the cube root of 3 cannot be further simplified, so we keep that. Our outcome is then:

$\sqrt[3]{3^3} *\sqrt[3]{3}=3\sqrt[3]{3}$

Now, let's multiply this by 1/3, as shown in the original problem:

$\frac{1}{3}* 3\sqrt[3]{3}=\sqrt[3]{3}$

Thus, the answer is $\sqrt[3]{3}$.
