Answer:
∛27 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
A radical is simply a fractional exponent:
Hence, ∛27 =
Since 27 = 3³, then:
You could rewrite ∛27 as ∛(3)³.
Multiplying the fractional exponents (3 × 1/3) will result in 1 (because 3 is the <u><em>multiplicative inverse</em></u> of 1/3). The multiplicative inverse of a number is defined as a number which when multiplied by the original number gives the product as 1.
Therefore, ∛27 = 3.
Remember
![x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20%20)
so
![5^ \frac{2}{5}= \sqrt[5]{5^2}= \sqrt[5]{25}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5%5E%20%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B5%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B5%5E2%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B25%7D%20%20)
so
