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

B3n4

Cquantity of 4 n to the one third power

D4 times n to the one third power

Verified Answer :

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, \(\sqrt[3]{4n} .\) Consider all cases:

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

B. \(3n^4 eq \sqrt[3]{4n} .\)

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

D. 4 times n to the one third power is \(4\cdot n^{\frac{1}{3} }=4\sqrt[3]{n} eq \sqrt[3]{4n} .\)

Answer: correct choice is C.
