Capitolo 1, Problema 50

Find each root. See Example 3. ∛0.125

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recognize that the problem asks for the cube root of 0.125, which means finding a number \( x \) such that \( x^3 = 0.125 \).
Express 0.125 as a fraction to make it easier to work with: \( 0.125 = \frac{1}{8} \).
Rewrite the cube root expression using fractional exponents: \( \sqrt[3]{0.125} = \left( \frac{1}{8} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} \).
Apply the property of exponents to the fraction: \( \left( \frac{1}{8} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1^{\frac{1}{3}}}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}} \).
Calculate the cube root of numerator and denominator separately: \( 1^{\frac{1}{3}} = 1 \) and \( 8^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2 \), so the cube root is \( \frac{1}{2} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Cube Roots

The cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2 because 2 × 2 × 2 = 8. It is denoted as ∛x.

Fractional Exponents

Fractional exponents represent roots; specifically, an exponent of 1/n corresponds to the nth root of a number. For example, x^(1/3) is the cube root of x. This notation helps in simplifying and calculating roots using exponent rules.
