SOLUTION: when dividing radicals do you keep the same index like 3 radical 135 divided by 3 radical 5 the number 3 is the index of both radical 135 and radical 5

Question 563891: when dividing radicals do you keep the same index like 3 radical 135 divided by 3 radical 5 the number 3 is the index of both radical 135 and radical 5
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
root(3,135) / root(3,5) is equal to root(3,135/5)
this says that:
the cube root of 135 divided by the cube root of 5 is equal to the cube root of (135 divided by 5).
in radical form, this looks like:

you can confirm that this is correct by using your calculator to calculate each side of the equation.
= 3
= 3
they're the same.
