What is the absolute value of -8 and 8?

2 answers:

5 0

Because taking an absolute value of a number means making positive, then we can conclude that the absolute value of both numbers are 8.

|-8| = 8
|8| = 8

Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of an integer is its distance from zero on a number line. Since -8 is 8 units from zero, the absolute value of -8 is +8. Notice that I put the "+" in front of 8 to show that it's positive.

On the other hand, 8 would also be 8 units from zero so the absolute value of 8 would also be +8.

The cube root of 5 times the square root of 5 over the cube root of 5 to the 5th power

Fiesta28 [93]

(cube root of 5) * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)

This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:

5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2) 5^(1/3 + 1/2) 5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3) 5^(5/3) 5^(5/3)

Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.

1
Thus, 5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6) = --------------
5^(5/6)

That's the correct answer. But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:

1 5^(1/6) 5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = -------------- (ANSWER)
5^(5/6) 5^(1/6) 5
