SOLUTION: Rationalize the denominator. Let cr = cube root. 5/(cr(2)) Let me see. 5/(cr(2)) • (cr(2))/(cr(2)) 5(cr(2))/(2) The book's answer is different.

Question 1207360: Rationalize the denominator.

Let cr = cube root.

5/(cr(2))

Let me see.

5/(cr(2)) • (cr(2))/(cr(2))

5(cr(2))/(2)
The book's answer is different.

P. S. How do I upload math photos (geometric figures, graphs of functions, etc) on this site?

5/(cr(2)

5*cr(4)/2
OR
5*cr(2^2))/2

Therefore,

In the second step we multiply top and bottom by two copies (not one copy) of . This is so the denominator will end up with 3 copies of to lead to

As far as I'm aware, students aren't allowed to directly upload photos to the algebra.com website.
You can instead upload the photo to some photosharing website and then post the link.

Rationalize the denominator.
Let cr = cube root.
5/(cr(2))

Let's use "cr" instead of the standard Edwin

I'll go ahead and use your notation of cr(2) to represent the cube root of 2.

The given expression has cr(2) in the denominator. In the work you show, you multiplied numerator and denominator by cr(2). But cr(2) times cr(2) does not rationalize the denominator. You need to multiply numerator and denominator by cr(2) twice to make the denominator rational.

(5/cr(2)*(cr(2)/cr(2))*(cr(2)/cr(2)) = (5*cr(2)*cr(2))/2 = 5cr(4)/2
