Since there is a denominator we will also want to rationalize the denominator. I'm going to make the denominator a perfect cube at the start. This will take care of the rationalizing denomiinator before we start. Since any exponent that is divisible by 3 is a perfect cube, all I need to do is change \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "which simplifies to: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now we can start finding perfect cubes: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Using the properties of radicals we can separate out all the perfect cubes: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Replacing the cube roots of the perfect cubes we get: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Rearranging the factors in the numerator and combining the remaining radicals we get: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
