Question 588450: Simplify by taking roots of the numerator and the denominator. Assume that all expressions under radicals represent positive numbers.
cube root 125x^5/y^3
Here's what I've done so far.
cube root of 125 = 5
cube root of x^5 = x^5/3
cube root of y^3 = y
So to me the answer should read
5x/y*square root x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The answer is actually $\sqrt[3]{\frac{125x^5}{y^3}}=\frac{5x\sqrt[3]{x^2}}{y}$

-------------------------------------------------------

The answer can also be written as $\sqrt[3]{\frac{125x^5}{y^3}}=\frac{5x}{y}\sqrt[3]{x^2}$

So you are very close.
