Answer:
(64^3)^(1/6)
=(64)^(3×1/6)
=(64)^(1/2)
=(8^2)^(1/2)
=(8)^(2×1/2)
=8^1
=8
8 is the correct answer of your question...
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember the phrase "power to a power means to multiply the exponents"
That is, if you have a number (call it x) raised to a power (call it b), and that whole expression is raised to a power (call it c), it's the same as that number x raised to the power of the product of those two powers.
[tex](x^a)^b = x^a^b[/tex]
Here's an example showing to give some intuition behind this (and a way to derive the above formula if you forget it):
[tex]x^3 = x*x*x\\(x^3)^2 = (x*x*x)^2 = x*x*x*x*x*x = x^6[/tex]
Or more simply,
[tex](x^3)^2 = x^(^3^*^2^) = x^6[/tex]
So in this case:
[tex](64^3)^\frac{1}{6} = 64^(^3^*^\frac{1}{6}^) = 64^\frac{1}{2} = 8[/tex] (remember a number raised the to the power of 1/2 is the square root of the number; in this case, the square root of 64 is 8)
