Evaluate 5 cube root of 16+ cube root of 54

$5 \sqrt[3]{16} + \sqrt[3]{54}$

Step 1

Simplify each term.

Rewrite $16$ as $2^{3} \cdot 2$ .

Factor $8$ out of $16$ .

$5 \sqrt[3]{8 (2)} + \sqrt[3]{54}$

Rewrite $8$ as $2^{3}$ .

$5 \sqrt[3]{2^{3} \cdot 2} + \sqrt[3]{54}$

$5 \sqrt[3]{2^{3} \cdot 2} + \sqrt[3]{54}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$5 (2 \sqrt[3]{2}) + \sqrt[3]{54}$

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{54}$

Rewrite $54$ as $3^{3} \cdot 2$ .

Factor $27$ out of $54$ .

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{27 (2)}$

Rewrite $27$ as $3^{3}$ .

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 2}$

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + \sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 2}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + 3 \sqrt[3]{2}$

$10 \sqrt[3]{2} + 3 \sqrt[3]{2}$

Step 2

Add $10 \sqrt[3]{2}$ and $3 \sqrt[3]{2}$ .

$13 \sqrt[3]{2}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

$13 \sqrt[3]{2}$

Decimal Form:

$16.37897364 \dots$
