Answer:

120√15 ≈ 464.758

Explanation:

You want the value of 60^(3/2).

Simplify

The rules of exponents tell you this is equivalent to ...

60^(3/2) = 60^(1 +1/2) = (60^1)(60^(1/2)) = 60√60

= 60√(4·15) = 60·2√15

= 120√15

Value

Your calculator can give you the value without having to simplify first. The exponent can be entered in whatever way you might usually use. (See attached.)
