Answer

3758637 \sqrt[6]{58}

Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.

    64−6=5864 - 6 = 58
  2. Substitute the simplified value back into the expression.

    37(58)1/2337 \sqrt[3]{(58)^{1/2}}
  3. Convert the exponent 1/21/2 to a square root.

    (58)1/2=58(58)^{1/2} = \sqrt{58}
  4. Rewrite the expression.

    3758337 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{58}}
  5. Combine the roots.

    The cube root of a square root is equivalent to the sixth root. This can be written using fractional exponents as ((58)1/2)1/3=58(1/2)×(1/3)=581/6( (58)^{1/2} )^{1/3} = 58^{(1/2) \times (1/3)} = 58^{1/6}.

    3758637 \sqrt[6]{58}
  6. Check if the number under the radical can be simplified.

    The prime factorization of 58 is 2×292 \times 29. Since there are no factors raised to the power of 6, the radical cannot be simplified further.
