Answer 1

Answer:

$2a^3b^2\sqrt[3]{3a}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following rules for exponents:

$a^m*a^n=a^{m+n}\\\\\sqrt[3]{x^3}=x$

Simplify 24. Find two factors of 24, one of which should be a perfect cube:

$8*3=24\\\\2^3=8$

Insert:

$\sqrt[3]{2^3*3a^{10}b^6}$

Now split the exponents. Split 10 into as many 3's as possible:

$10=3+3+3+1$

Insert as exponents:

$\sqrt[3]{2^3*3*a^3*a^3*a^3*a^1*b^6}$

Split 6 into as many 3's as possible:

$6=3+3$

Insert as exponents:

$\sqrt[3]{2^3*3*a^3*a^3*a^3*a^1*b^3*b^3}$

Now simplify. Any terms with an exponent of 3 will be moved out of the radical (rule #2):

$2\sqrt[3]{3*a^3*a^3*a^3*a^1*b^3*b^3}\\\\\\2*a*a*a\sqrt[3]{3*a^1*b^3*b^3}\\\\\\2*a*a*a*b*b\sqrt[3]{3*a^1}$

Simplify:

$2a^3b^2\sqrt[3]{3a}$
