Transcript text: Simplify the following radical expression.
\[
\sqrt[7]{64 x^{3}}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify the given radical expression \(\sqrt[7]{64 x^{3}}\), we need to express the radicand (the expression inside the radical) in terms of powers that can be simplified under the given root. We will look for perfect seventh powers within the expression and simplify accordingly.
Step 1: Express the Radicand
We start with the expression \( \sqrt[7]{64 x^{3}} \). We can rewrite \( 64 \) as \( 2^6 \), so the expression becomes:
\[
\sqrt[7]{2^6 x^{3}}
\]
Step 2: Simplify the Expression
Using the property of radicals, we can separate the expression:
\[
\sqrt[7]{2^6} \cdot \sqrt[7]{x^{3}}
\]
Now, we simplify each part. The seventh root of \( 2^6 \) can be expressed as:
\[
2^{\frac{6}{7}}
\]
And for \( x^{3} \):
\[
\sqrt[7]{x^{3}} = x^{\frac{3}{7}}
\]
Thus, we have:
\[
\sqrt[7]{64 x^{3}} = 2^{\frac{6}{7}} \cdot x^{\frac{3}{7}}
\]
Step 3: Combine the Results
Combining the results, we get:
\[
\sqrt[7]{64 x^{3}} = 2^{\frac{6}{7}} x^{\frac{3}{7}} \approx 1.8114 \cdot x^{\frac{3}{7}}
\]
Final Answer
The simplified expression is approximately:
\[
\boxed{1.8114 \cdot x^{\frac{3}{7}}}
\]
