Simplify cube root of 54x^8

$\sqrt[3]{54 x^{8}}$

Step 1

Rewrite $54 x^{8}$ as ${(3 x^{2})}^{3} \cdot (2 x^{2})$ .

Factor $27$ out of $54$ .

$\sqrt[3]{27 (2) x^{8}}$

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

$\sqrt[3]{3^{3} \cdot 2 x^{8}}$

Factor out $x^{6}$ .

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

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

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

Move $2$ .

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

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

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

Add parentheses.

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

Step 2

Pull terms out from under the radical.

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