Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(2^(1/3))^7

Hint: | For all a>=0, (a^(1/3))^m = a^(m/3). Apply this to (2^(1/3))^7.

Multiply exponents. (2^(1/3))^7 = 2^(7/3):

2^(7/3)

Hint: | Separate the exponent of 2^(7/3) into integer and fractional parts.

2^(7/3) = 2^(6/3 + 1/3) = 2^(6/3)×2^(1/3):

2^(6/3) 2^(1/3)

Hint: | Divide 6 by 3.

6/3 = (3×2)/3 = 2:

2^2 2^(1/3)

Hint: | Evaluate 2^2.

2^2 = 4:

Answer: 4 2^(1/3) or 5.0396841995794926590688424291129134022810058588060319203279004486... decimal
