Question
Evaluate:
$\sqrt[3]{121}\times\sqrt[3]{297}$
✓
Answer
121 and 297 are not perfect cubes; therefore, we use the following property:
$\sqrt[3]{\text{ab}}=\sqrt[3]{\text{a}}\times\sqrt[3]{\text{b}}$ for any two integers a and b.
$\therefore\sqrt[3]{121}\times\sqrt[3]{297}$
$=\sqrt[3]{{121}\times{297}}$
$=\sqrt[3]{(11\times11\times11)\times (3\times3\times3)}$ (By prime factorisation)
$=\sqrt[3]{\{2\times2\times2\}\times\{3\times3\times3\}\times\{5\times5\times5\}}$
$=11\times3$
$=33$
Thus, the answer is 33.
