Thanks in advance! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! simplify problem below...
(500x^4y^8)^(1/3)
-----
Separate the problem into two pieces
where one of the pieces is the product of cubes.
----
= [(125x^3y^6)(4xy^2)]^(1/3)
-------
Rewrite as the product of 2 cube roots:
= (125x^3y^6)^(1/3) * (4xy^2)^(1/3)
------
Take the cube root of the perfect cube factor
to get the final answer:
---
= 5xy^2*(4xy^2)^(1/3)
