Q. Given x>0 and y>0, select the expression that is equivalent to3−125x9y6−5x3y25ix3y25ix27y18−5x27y18
Identify cube root of product: Identify the cube root of a product. The cube root of a product is the product of the cube roots of each factor. So, 3−125x9y6=3−125×3x9×3y6.
Calculate cube root of −125: Calculate the cube root of −125. The cube root of −125 is −5 because (−5)3=−125. 3−125=−5.
Calculate cube root of x9: Calculate the cube root of x9.The cube root of x9 is x39 because when you take the cube root, you divide the exponent by 3.3x9=x39=x3.
Calculate cube root of y6: Calculate the cube root of y6. The cube root of y6 is y36 because when you take the cube root, you divide the exponent by 3. 3y6=y36=y2.
Combine results to find equivalent expression: Combine the results to find the equivalent expression.Combining the results from steps 2, 3, and 4, we get:3−125x9y6=−5×x3×y2.
