Chapter 9.2, Problem 54SR

To determine

To write: The simplification of the given expression.

Answer to Problem 54SR

The simplification is $-x$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given expression is,

  $-\sqrt[6]{x^6}$

Calculation:

The expression is simplified as,

  $\begin{array}{c}-\sqrt[6]{x^6}=-\sqrt[6]{x\times x\times x\times x\times x\times x}\\ =-x\end{array}$

Therefore, the simplification is $-x$ .
