Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Solve the following problem
00:03 When we have a number (A) with the root order (B) with the root order (C)
00:08 The result equals the number (A) with the root order of their product (B×C)
00:16 Let's apply this formula to our exercise
00:22 Calculate the order multiplication
00:29 Break down 512 to 2 to the power of 9
00:33 When we have a number (A) to the power of (B) with the root order (B²)
00:37 The root and the power cancel each other out and the result is A
00:40 Let's apply this formula to our exercise
00:44 This is the solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed with the following steps:

  • Step 1: Compute 5123 \sqrt[3]{512} .
    Given 512 512 , recognize that 512=29 512 = 2^9 since 29=512 2^9 = 512 . Thus, we have:
    • 5123=293=29/3=23=8 \sqrt[3]{512} = \sqrt[3]{2^9} = 2^{9/3} = 2^3 = 8 .
  • Step 2: Compute 83 \sqrt[3]{8} .
    From Step 1, we found 5123=8 \sqrt[3]{512} = 8 . Now find 83 \sqrt[3]{8} :
    • 83=233=23/3=2 \sqrt[3]{8} = \sqrt[3]{2^3} = 2^{3/3} = 2 .

Therefore, the solution to the expression 51233 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt[3]{512}} is 2 2 .
