Express an entire radical with a numerical radicand as a mixed radical.

What do all the different numbers mean? Just punching it in to a calculator isnt good enough! How to use calc. Research it! Tell me what you learned. Factors perfect squares and perfect cubes. How to factor tree The perfect square/cube (depending on root) goes on the outside.
