What is the cubed root of (X^6*Y^4)/2
--------------------------------------------------
I'm going to assume you are taking the cube root of the entire
expression:
= cubrt(x^6*y^4/2)
To rationalize the denominator, multiply numerator and
denominator by "4"
= cubrt(4x^6y^4/8)
Separate the perfect cube factors from those that are not
perfect cubes:
= cubrt(x^6*y^3/8)*cubrt(4y)
Take the cube root of the perfect cube factors:
= (1/2)x^2 y * cubrt(4y)
===================
