Answer: B. 2∛3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]24^\frac{1}{3}[/tex] is equivalent to ∛24. This can actually be simplified. We can use prime factorization to simplify the cubed root.

                                                               24

                                                               /  \

                                                              2  12

                                                                  /  \

                                                                2    6

                                                                      /  \

                                                                    2    3  

From this prime factorization tree, we want to find a group of 3. The same number that appears 3 times.

We see that there are 3 2's. They are bolded above. Since there is a group of 3, we can pull the 2 out of the cubed root, as we are left with a 3 inside (underlined above).

Our final answer is 2∛3.
