Simplify cube root of 108x^8

$\sqrt[3]{108 x^{8}}$

Step 1

Rewrite $108 x^{8}$ as ${(3 x^{2})}^{3} \cdot (4 x^{2})$ .

Factor $27$ out of $108$ .

$\sqrt[3]{27 (4) x^{8}}$

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

$\sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 4 x^{8}}$

Factor out $x^{6}$ .

$\sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 4 (x^{6} x^{2})}$

Rewrite $x^{6}$ as ${(x^{2})}^{3}$ .

$\sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 4 ({(x^{2})}^{3} x^{2})}$

Move $4$ .

$\sqrt[3]{3^{3} {(x^{2})}^{3} \cdot 4 x^{2}}$

Rewrite $3^{3} {(x^{2})}^{3}$ as ${(3 x^{2})}^{3}$ .

$\sqrt[3]{{(3 x^{2})}^{3} \cdot 4 x^{2}}$

Add parentheses.

$\sqrt[3]{{(3 x^{2})}^{3} \cdot (4 x^{2})}$

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$3 x^{2} \sqrt[3]{4 x^{2}}$
