Answer

$3x\sqrt[3] {2x^2}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=\sqrt[3] {54x^5}$ Rewrite as an exponential expression. $\Rightarrow =(54x^5)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Factor the terms: $\Rightarrow =(3^3\cdot 2x^3\cdot x^2)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Raise each factor in parentheses to the $\frac{1}{3}$ power. $\Rightarrow 2x=(2^{\frac{1}{3}}x^{\frac{1}{3}})\cdot g(x)$ The given expression is $=\sqrt[3] {54x^5}$ Factor the radicands: $=\sqrt[3] {3^3\cdot 2x^3\cdot x^2}$ Group the perfect cube factors. $=\sqrt[3] {3^3x^3\cdot 2\cdot x^2}$ Factor into two radicals. $=\sqrt[3] {3^3x^3}\cdot \sqrt[3] {2\cdot x^2}$ Simplify. $=3x\sqrt[3] {2x^2}$.
