we are asked to evaluate 32^(3/2)
32^(3/2) means take the square root of 32 cubed
====================================================
we can remove 32 from the square root since square root of 32^2 = 32, so we have
32*sqrt(32)
=========================================================
now 32 can be factored in 16*2, note that the sqrt of 16 is 4, so now we get
32*4*sqrt(2) which equals
128*sqrt(2)
