Question 1125364: Looking for help with the following radical, which needs to be simplified. The book does NO help in explaining how to go about it.
^3sqrt -27y^18/81x^6
After scouring the internet I used quotient rules and broke it down as follows:
^3sqrt-27y^18 / ^3sqrt81x^6
This gave me a result of:
3y^6/3sqrt3^4x^2
Am I on the right track? Thank you!

What you are given is not clear. Maybe you are asking for the cube root of something,...





You may simplify what is inside first:




You need to understand and also .

Continuing....

and you can rationalize the denominator if you want to or need to.

This is what you came up with: , I believe.

If this is so, then I must say that you're NOT on the right track. Hopefully, the simplification below will steer you onto the right path.

OR, RATIONALIZING the DENOMINATOR in the RADICAND, we get:
