Good Morning everyone,

My number is 7 and the problems assign to me are 72 and 14.

72)

(125a^8)^1/3

(5^3*a^8)^1/3

(5^3)^1/3

5^3*1/3

a^2*1/3

5^3/3*a^8/3

5 goes into 125 3 times. a^8 remains the same with the whole problem multiplied by 1/3

Multiply 1/3 with both problems of 5^3 and a^8.

5^3 multiply by 1/3 will becomes 5^3/3 and a^8 will become a^8/3

Answer: 5a^8/3

14)

12+24=4⋅3+24=2⋅3+24=2⋅3+4⋅2⋅3=23+2⋅2⋅3

The radical of 12 plus the radical of 24

The radical of 12 is 4 and 3 and add this by the radical of 24

Next, the radical of 4 is 2. So then the problem becomes 2 of the radical of 3 plus the radical of 24

Then, 2 of the radical of 3 plus the radical of 24 becomes the radical of 4 times the radical of 2 times the radical of 3.

The final answer being 2 of the radical of 3 plus 2 of the radical of 6.
