Which of the following is the rational exponent expression of third root of 4 n? A) (4n)3

B) 3n4

C) quantity of 4 n to the one third power

D) 4 times n to the one third power

Respuesta :

The answer to the question above should be letter "C. quantity of 4 n to the one-third power". This means that the radicand is the product of 4 and n. This product is raised to the power 1/3. Mathematically,
                                   (4n)^1/3

You have to check which of the following expressions is the rational exponent expression of third root of 4n, or mathematically, [tex] \sqrt[3]{4n} . [/tex] Consider all cases:

A. [tex] (4n)^3=4^3\cdot n^3=64n^3\neq\sqrt[3]{4n} . [/tex]

B. [tex] 3n^4\neq \sqrt[3]{4n} . [/tex]

C. quantity of 4n to the one third power is [tex] (4n)^{\frac{1}{3} }=\sqrt[3]{4n} [/tex] (by the definition of rational power).

D. 4 times n to the one third power is [tex] 4\cdot n^{\frac{1}{3} }=4\sqrt[3]{n}\neq \sqrt[3]{4n} . [/tex]

Answer: correct choice is C.
