document.write( "I know i need to find a power, but I am not sure how to get it. I don't understand what they mean by so that the radicals are eliminated. I had guessed 3 at first but that is obviously wrong. Can you help me? Thanks. \n" );

Algebra.Com's Answer #56491 by tutor_paul(519)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of this in about the same way you would think of finding the least \n" ); document.write( "common denominator when adding fractions. In this case, you have a square \n" ); document.write( "root (2) and a cube root (3). If you want to get rid of the radicals, figure out \n" ); document.write( "the smallest number that 2 and 3 go into equally. \n" ); document.write( "Try that and prove to yourself that it works.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Good Luck, \n" ); document.write( "tutor_paul@yahoo.com \n" ); document.write( " |
