Find the indicated real nth root(s) of a.
a. n = 3, a = –216
b. n = 4, a = 81
SOLUTION
a.
Because n = 3 is odd and a = –216 < 0, –216 has
one real cube root. Because (–6)3 = –216, you
can write = 3√ –216 = –6 or (–216)1/3 = –6.
b.
Because n = 4 is even and a = 81 > 0, 81 has
two real fourth roots. Because 34 = 81 and
(–3)4 = 81, you can write ±4√ 81 = ±3

Let f (x) = –2x2/3 and g(x) = 7x2/3.
Find the following, state the domain.
1.
f (x) + g(x)
SOLUTION
f (x) + g(x) = –2x2/3 + 7x2/3 = (–2 + 7)x2/3 = 5x2/3
2.
f (x) – g(x)
SOLUTION
f (x) – g(x) = –2x2/3 – 7x2/3 = [–2 + ( –7)]x2/3 = –9x2/3

Find the following.
a
g(f(5))
b
f(g(5))
SOLUTION
SOLUTION
To evaluate g(f(5)),
you first must find f(5).
To evaluate f(g(5)),
you first must find g(5).
f(5) = 3(5) – 8 = 7
Then g( f(3)) = g(7)
= 2(7)2
= 2(49)
= 98
g (5) = 2(5)2 = 2(25) = 50
Then f( g(5)) = f(50)
= 3(50) – 8
= 150 – 8
