Answer:


8r^(4)

Explanation:

√(64r^8) = √((8r^4)^2) = 8r^4

_____

You can make use of either or both of these rules of exponents:

(a^b)^c = a^(b·c) . . . . . used above


\sqrt[n]{a} = a
\fra {1}{n}

Using the second rule, you can write the expression as ...


√(64r^8) =
√(64) ·
r^8^*1/2 =
8r^4
