Evaluate sixth root of 27

Problem

√(6,27)

Solution

1. Rewrite the expression using a fractional exponent.

√(6,27)=27(1/6)

2. Express the base as a power of a prime number, noting that 27=3

27(1/6)=(3)(1/6)

3. Apply the power of a power rule, which states (am)n=a(m⋅n)

(3)(1/6)=3(3⋅1/6)

4. Simplify the exponent by multiplying the fractions.

3(3/6)=3(1/2)

5. Convert the expression back into radical form.

3(1/2)=√(,3)

Final Answer
