I'm studying on regents prep on radicals (for the NY regents), and in one problem it showed 9√⅓ simplified to 3√3 and I don't understand how they did that at all. A little explanation is all I need, thank you very much :).

You kind of have to work backwards...
9√⅓ ... the 9 came from taking out 3 and 3 from inside the radical (there was originally 81 inside, 81= 9*9, you pull the nine out).
Now we have √⅓ *81 (all inside the radical). which multiplies to √81/3, simplified to √27.
√27 = √9*√3. The square root of nine is equal to 3, so you pull that out of the radical. You are left with 3√3!
I know the explination is choppy, but it was hard to explain! I hope you understood. Good luck!
You need to remove the fraction from the radical. To do that multiply the 1/3 by 3/3 (multiplying by 1 [3/3] does not change the value). This gives you 9 sqrt 3/9 which simplifies to 9sqrt3/3.
y = 3x² - 3x - 2 3x² - 3x - 2 = 0 3x² - 3x = 2 3(x² - x) = 2 x² - x = 2/3 x² - x + a million/4 = 2/3 + a million/4 (x - a million/2)² = 8/12 + 3/12 (x - a million/2)² = 11/12 x - a million/2 = ?(11/12) x = a million/2 ± ?(11/12) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
9√⅓
9 √(3/9)
9 √3/√9
(9/3)√3
I'll try to explain :
9srt(1/3). =
3x3 srt(1/3) =
3 srt(9 x 1/3) =
3 srt(9/3) =
3 srt(3)
9√⅓ = 9·(√1/√3) = 9·[(√1/√3)·(√3/√3)] = 9·[√3/3] = 3√3
I find my method a bit easier.
9√⅓ = √81 × √⅓
= √(81 × ⅓)
= √(81/3)
= √27
= √(9 × 3)
= √9 × √3
= 3√3
root[1/3] = 1/root[3] = root[3]/3 x 9 = ans
