Write ∛64 using exponents and evaluate.

검증된 단계별 안내

Recall that the cube root of a number can be expressed as an exponent with a fractional power. Specifically, the cube root of a number \(a\) is written as \(a^{\frac{1}{3}}\).

Rewrite the cube root of 64 using this exponent form: \(\sqrt[3]{64} = 64^{\frac{1}{3}}\).

Express 64 as a power of a smaller base if possible. Since \(64 = 2^6\), rewrite the expression as \(64^{\frac{1}{3}} = (2^6)^{\frac{1}{3}}\).

Use the power of a power property of exponents, which states \((a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}\), to simplify the expression: \((2^6)^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2^{6 \times \frac{1}{3}}\).

Multiply the exponents: \(6 \times \frac{1}{3} = 2\), so the expression simplifies to \(2^2\). This is the simplified form of the cube root of 64.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Radicals and Rational Exponents

A radical expression like the cube root (∛) can be rewritten using rational exponents. Specifically, the cube root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 1/3. This allows us to convert root expressions into exponent form for easier manipulation.

Exponentiation Rules

Exponentiation rules govern how to work with powers, including fractional exponents. Understanding that a^(m/n) means the nth root of a^m helps in simplifying expressions. This concept is essential for rewriting and evaluating expressions involving roots and powers.

Evaluating Powers

Evaluating powers involves calculating the numerical value of an expression with exponents. For example, 64^(1/3) means finding the number which, when cubed, equals 64. Recognizing perfect powers like 64 = 4^3 simplifies the evaluation process.
