Q. Given x>0 and y>0, select the expression that is equivalent to3216x10y66x310y272x310y272x30y186x30y18
Identify Cube Root: Identify the cube root of the given expression.The cube root of a product is the product of the cube roots of each factor.So, we have 3216x10y6=3216×3x10×3y6.
Simplify 216: Simplify the cube root of 216. 216 is a perfect cube because 216=63. Therefore, 3216=6.
Simplify x10: Simplify the cube root of x10. We can express x10 as x9×x to make it easier to take the cube root. The cube root of x9 is x39=x3. The cube root of x is x31. Therefore, 3x10=x3×x31=x3+31=x310.
Simplify y6: Simplify the cube root of y6. Since y6 is a perfect cube (y6=(y2)3), the cube root of y6 is y6/3=y2.
Combine Simplified Roots: Combine the simplified cube roots.We have 6×x310×y2.This is the expression equivalent to the original cube root.
