1 00:00:00,369 --> 00:00:04,633 multiply and simplify five times the cube root of two x squared 2 00:00:04,633 --> 00:00:08,018 times three times the cube root of four x to the fourth 3 00:00:08,018 --> 00:00:12,035 so the two things that pop out of my brain right here is that we can change 4 00:00:12,035 --> 00:00:14,936 the order a little bit cause multiplication is both commutative 5 00:00:14,936 --> 00:00:18,434 well the commutative property allows us to switch the order for multiplication 6 00:00:18,434 --> 00:00:21,969 so we can get the constant terms we can multiply the five times the three 7 00:00:21,969 --> 00:00:25,853 and then the other two things that we are multiplying They are both the cube root which is the 8 00:00:25,853 --> 00:00:27,969 same thing as taking something to the one-third power 9 00:00:27,969 --> 00:00:33,436 so the cube root of x. This is exactly the same thing as raising x to the one-third 10 00:00:33,436 --> 00:00:37,302 So let's do that. Let's switch the order and let's rewrite these cube roots as 11 00:00:37,302 --> 00:00:39,851 raising it to the one-third power 12 00:00:39,851 --> 00:00:45,907 so I have the five and the three so that's going to be five times three 13 00:00:45,907 --> 00:00:48,637 and then we have the cube root of 14 00:00:48,637 --> 00:00:50,369 I will do that in a new color 15 00:00:50,369 --> 00:00:54,242 then we have the cube root of two x squared 16 00:00:54,242 --> 00:00:59,036 so this I can rewrite as two x squared to the one-third power 17 00:00:59,036 --> 00:01:03,642 ,and then I have the cube root of four x to the fourth 18 00:01:03,642 --> 00:01:07,568 so that's the same thing as four x to the fourth to the one-third power 19 00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:12,306 and now we know from our exponent properties: if we have two things that are both 20 00:01:12,368 --> 00:01:15,100 raised to the same power and then we take the product 21 00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:16,837 we could just take the product first and then 22 00:01:16,837 --> 00:01:17,836 raise it to the power 23 00:01:17,836 --> 00:01:22,837 so if I have a to the x power times b to the x power 24 00:01:22,837 --> 00:01:26,243 This is the same thing as a times b to the x power 25 00:01:26,243 --> 00:01:29,828 So we can simplify this part of the expression right over here 26 00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:33,998 as two x squared 27 00:01:33,998 --> 00:01:37,886 time four x to the fourth to the 28 00:01:37,886 --> 00:01:43,021 one-third power and of course five times three is fifteen 29 00:01:43,021 --> 00:01:46,179 and if we simplify what is in the expression right over here we 30 00:01:46,179 --> 00:01:48,687 once again it is commutative so we can swap the order and 31 00:01:48,687 --> 00:01:50,425 it is associative so we can 32 00:01:50,425 --> 00:01:54,286 swap the grouping or how we group them does not matter 33 00:01:54,286 --> 00:01:56,175 cause it is all multiplication here 34 00:01:56,175 --> 00:02:00,553 This is two times four which is six times x squared times x to the fourth 35 00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:02,349 x squared times x to the fourth 36 00:02:02,349 --> 00:02:04,619 is x to the sixth power 37 00:02:04,619 --> 00:02:07,952 and it is all of that to the one-third power 38 00:02:07,952 --> 00:02:09,892 and then that is times 39 00:02:09,892 --> 00:02:15,353 oh sorry not six two times four is eight what am I doing? 40 00:02:15,353 --> 00:02:18,890 two times four is eight 41 00:02:18,962 --> 00:02:22,550 x squared times x to the fourth is 42 00:02:23,257 --> 00:02:25,503 x to the sixth 43 00:02:25,503 --> 00:02:28,621 I think my brain was adding the exponents and wrote the six down 44 00:02:28,791 --> 00:02:31,300 of course two times four is eight not six but we add the exponents 45 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:32,881 they had the same base 46 00:02:32,881 --> 00:02:35,235 x squared times x to the fourth is x to the sixth 47 00:02:35,235 --> 00:02:39,237 and we are gonna raise that to the one-third power 48 00:02:39,237 --> 00:02:41,368 and then all of that is times fifteen 49 00:02:41,368 --> 00:02:44,464 and then we essentially can use this property again 50 00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:46,111 actually not that property 51 00:02:46,111 --> 00:02:48,719 We know that this. We know if I have something 52 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:50,904 well actually exactly this property again 53 00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:53,176 We have something multiplied to a power 54 00:02:53,176 --> 00:02:56,448 This is the exact same thing 55 00:02:56,463 --> 00:02:59,757 as eight to the one-third power times 56 00:02:59,757 --> 00:03:02,828 x to the sixth to the one-third power 57 00:03:02,828 --> 00:03:07,691 and then all of that is being multiplied 58 00:03:07,691 --> 00:03:11,268 by fifteen and so eight to the one-third power 59 00:03:11,268 --> 00:03:13,013 this is the same thing as the cube root of eight 60 00:03:13,013 --> 00:03:16,957 you might recognize that eight is two times two times two 61 00:03:16,957 --> 00:03:19,768 so eight to the one-third power is two 62 00:03:19,768 --> 00:03:22,438 eight is two to the third so two to the third 63 00:03:22,438 --> 00:03:24,271 to the one-third is two to the first 64 00:03:24,271 --> 00:03:25,854 two times two times two is eight 65 00:03:25,854 --> 00:03:28,088 and x to the sixth to the one-third 66 00:03:28,088 --> 00:03:30,352 we know from our exponent properties that is the same thing as 67 00:03:30,352 --> 00:03:33,018 x to the six times one-third power 68 00:03:33,018 --> 00:03:35,225 x to the six divided by three power 69 00:03:35,225 --> 00:03:39,891 or six divided by three is two or x squared so that is just x squared 70 00:03:39,891 --> 00:03:41,684 so we have 71 00:03:41,684 --> 00:03:43,618 fifteen times two which gives us thirty 72 00:03:43,618 --> 00:03:45,763 so that is these terms right over here 73 00:03:45,763 --> 00:03:48,434 and then you have this term right over here 74 00:03:48,434 --> 00:03:49,959 I want to do that in a different color 75 00:03:49,959 --> 00:03:53,685 and then you have this term right over here 76 00:03:53,685 --> 00:03:55,517 that's not a different color! You have this term 77 00:03:55,517 --> 00:03:57,351 right over here is x squared 78 00:03:57,351 --> 00:03:59,182 and you are done 79 00:03:59,182 --> 00:04:00,850 and there is a bunch of ways you could do it 80 00:04:00,850 --> 00:04:03,618 You might not decide to use exponent notation 81 00:04:03,618 --> 00:04:06,023 You could say look this is a cube root 82 00:04:06,023 --> 00:04:10,085 This is a cube root I can take the cube root of the product of both of them 83 00:04:10,085 --> 00:04:11,847 so you do not have to write the one-third here 84 00:04:11,847 --> 00:04:13,618 you could just write the cube root of this whole thing over here 85 00:04:13,618 --> 00:04:16,155 and then depending on how you want to group it and all the rest 86 00:04:16,155 --> 00:04:17,552 you could do this in different orders 87 00:04:17,602 --> 00:04:17,602 as long as you get the right exponent properties 88 00:04:17,602 --> 00:04:17,603 you should be getting 89 00:04:20,431 --> 00:04:24,431 you should get to this same answer
