Question 532580: My homework says to rationalize the denominator. I've tried another problem similar to this and I ended up getting it wrong. This is another one I'm stuck on. Cube root of 35 over the cube root of 21. I thought you had to break the top as cube roots of 5 and 7 and break the bottom as cube roots of 3 and 7 and cancel out, then multiply the top and bottom by the cube root of three. Is that the correct way to rationalize? Please and thank you!
