Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
![**Simplify the expression. Assume that the variable is a positive number. See Example 2.**
\[ - \sqrt[3]{-16a^3} \]
[Answer Box]
---
**Explanation:**
In this exercise, the objective is to simplify the expression given. The expression is a cube root, denoted by the radical symbol with an index of 3. The expression inside the cube root is \(-16a^3\).
When simplifying, consider the properties of roots and exponents, as well as the fact that the variable \(a\) is positive.
Typically, when faced with an expression such as this, you would examine:
- The cube root of the numerical constant \(-16\).
- The cube root of \(a^3\).
Ensure every step adheres to proper algebraic rules and simplify accordingly.
