The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of writing the numbers \(2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6}\) and \(3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2}\) in descending order, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the numbers in terms of the fourth root We want to express both numbers in a way that allows us to compare them easily. We can rewrite \(2\) and \(3\) in terms of the fourth root. - For \(2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6}\): \[ 2 = \sqrt[4]{2^4} \quad \text{(since } 2 = 2^1 \text{ and } 2^4 = 16 \text{)} \] Therefore, \[ 2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6} = \sqrt[4]{2^4} \cdot \sqrt[4]{6} = \sqrt[4]{2^4 \cdot 6} = \sqrt[4]{96} \] - For \(3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2}\): \[ 3 = \sqrt[4]{3^4} \quad \text{(since } 3 = 3^1 \text{ and } 3^4 = 81 \text{)} \] Therefore, \[ 3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2} = \sqrt[4]{3^4} \cdot \sqrt[4]{2} = \sqrt[4]{3^4 \cdot 2} = \sqrt[4]{162} \] ### Step 2: Compare the two fourth roots Now we have: - \(2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6} = \sqrt[4]{96}\) - \(3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2} = \sqrt[4]{162}\) To compare \(\sqrt[4]{96}\) and \(\sqrt[4]{162}\), we can compare the numbers inside the fourth roots: - \(96\) and \(162\) Since \(162 > 96\), we conclude that: \[ \sqrt[4]{162} > \sqrt[4]{96} \] ### Step 3: Write in descending order Now that we have established that \(3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2}\) is greater than \(2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6}\), we can write the numbers in descending order: \[ 3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2} > 2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6} \] Thus, the final answer in descending order is: \[ 3 \cdot \sqrt[4]{2}, \quad 2 \cdot \sqrt[4]{6} \]
