Answer

$-\sqrt[3]{t}+5\sqrt{t}$

Work Step by Step

The expression $\sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}$ can be written as, $\sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}=\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}t}$ Now, apply the radical of a product property $\sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{b}$ in the expression: $\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}t}$ Thus, $\begin{align} & \sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}=\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}t} \\ & =\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}\cdot \sqrt{t} \\ & \end{align}$ Now, apply the power of a radical property $\sqrt[n]{{{a}^{n}}}=a$ $\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}},\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}},\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}$ Thus, $\begin{align} & \sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}=5 \\ & \text{ }\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}}=3\text{ } \\ & \sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}=2 \end{align}$ Substitute the value of$\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}},\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}},\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}$ in the expression: $\sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}=\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}\cdot \sqrt{t}$ Thus, $\begin{align} & \sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}=\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 2 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}-\sqrt[3]{{{\left( 3 \right)}^{3}}}\cdot \sqrt[3]{t}+\sqrt{{{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}\cdot \sqrt{t} \\ & =2\sqrt[3]{t}-3\sqrt[3]{t}+5\sqrt{t} \\ & =-\sqrt[3]{t}+5\sqrt{t} \end{align}$ Therefore, the solution of the expression $\sqrt[3]{8t}-\sqrt[3]{27t}+\sqrt{25t}$ is$-\sqrt[3]{t}+5\sqrt{t}$.
