Simplify the following, {eq}\sqrt[3]{27,000} {/eq}.
Question:
Simplify the following, {eq}\sqrt[3]{27,000} {/eq}.
{eq}n^{th} {/eq} Root Evaluation
If an {eq}n^{th} {/eq} root of a particular number has to be evaluated, that is, we wish to calculate and simplify the expression {eq}\sqrt[n]{x} = y {/eq}, we may:
- Use the definition of what a root is
- It is true that {eq}y^n = x {/eq}
- Try to evaluate the value of {eq}y {/eq} testing several values
- Check if our solution is right, so that {eq}y^n = x {/eq} holds
