Maths help: BB test 4 section 4 ques 8 !!

<p>This questions is driving me crazy im starting to think that its wrong!
can anyone please help me!</p>

<ul>
<li>( a to the power of 0.5 times b to the power of one third) all to the power of 6 = 432</li>
</ul>

<p>CAN ANYONE FIGURE IT OUT??</p>

<p>I'm having trouble with that same problem too..does anyone have a solution for this?</p>

<p>[a^0.5 * b^1/3]^6 = 432</p>

<p>The question asks for the value of ab.</p>

<p>Here, I found this earlier post by tanman:</p>

<p>"simplyify that equation to a^3<em>b^2 = 432 and then start factoring out 432 to 2</em>2<em>2</em>2<em>3</em>3<em>3 = (2</em>2)^2 * 3^3 = 4^2 * 3^3, so ab = 12"</p>

<p>thanx Quesce that helped me alot :)</p>
