The correct Answer is:
To find which of the given numbers is the greatest among \(6\sqrt[3]{5}\), \(\sqrt[3]{2}\), \(2\sqrt[3]{130}\), and \(\sqrt[3]{900}\), we can compare them step by step. ### Step 1: Rewrite the expressions We can express each number in terms of a common base for easier comparison. 1. \( A = 6\sqrt[3]{5} = 6 \cdot 5^{1/3} \) 2. \( B = \sqrt[3]{2} = 2^{1/3} \) 3. \( C = 2\sqrt[3]{130} = 2 \cdot 130^{1/3} \) 4. \( D = \sqrt[3]{900} = 900^{1/3} \) ### Step 2: Simplify the expressions Next, we can simplify \(C\) and \(D\): - For \(C\): \[ C = 2 \cdot (2 \cdot 65)^{1/3} = 2^{1 + 1/3} \cdot 65^{1/3} = 2^{4/3} \cdot 65^{1/3} \] - For \(D\): \[ D = (900)^{1/3} = (9 \cdot 100)^{1/3} = (3^2 \cdot 10^2)^{1/3} = 3^{2/3} \cdot 10^{2/3} \] ### Step 3: Compare the values Now we can compare the values of \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), and \(D\): 1. **Comparing \(A\) and \(B\)**: \[ A = 6 \cdot 5^{1/3} \quad \text{and} \quad B = 2^{1/3} \] Since \(6 > 2\) and \(5^{1/3} > 1\), we can conclude that \(A > B\). 2. **Comparing \(A\) and \(C\)**: \[ A = 6 \cdot 5^{1/3} \quad \text{and} \quad C = 2^{4/3} \cdot 65^{1/3} \] To compare, we can evaluate both expressions numerically or simplify further. 3. **Comparing \(C\) and \(D\)**: \[ C = 2^{4/3} \cdot 65^{1/3} \quad \text{and} \quad D = 3^{2/3} \cdot 10^{2/3} \] Again, we can evaluate both expressions numerically or simplify further. ### Step 4: Numerical approximation To find the greatest number, we can calculate the numerical values of each expression: 1. \(A = 6 \cdot 5^{1/3} \approx 6 \cdot 1.71 \approx 10.26\) 2. \(B = 2^{1/3} \approx 1.26\) 3. \(C = 2^{4/3} \cdot 65^{1/3} \approx 2.52 \cdot 4.02 \approx 10.14\) 4. \(D = 3^{2/3} \cdot 10^{2/3} \approx 2.08 \cdot 4.64 \approx 9.66\) ### Conclusion From the calculations, we find: - \(A \approx 10.26\) - \(B \approx 1.26\) - \(C \approx 10.14\) - \(D \approx 9.66\) Thus, the greatest number is \(A = 6\sqrt[3]{5}\).
