If y=64x3, then what is 3y?

1 Answer

16x2

Explanation:

If we have

y=64x3

then what is the value of 3y?

We can do this by squaring then taking the cube root of y, in effect taking both sides to the power of 23:

(y)23=(64x3)23

We can use the rule that (xa)b=xab

3y=(26x3)23=26×(23)x3×(23)=24x2=16x2
