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
