Find the cube root of 9\sqrt{3}+11\sqrt{2}\,

Let

\sqrt[3]{11\sqrt{2}+9\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}\,

Cubing on both sides,

11\sqrt{2}+9\sqrt{3}=(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y})^3=\sqrt{x}(x+3y)+\sqrt{y}(3x+y)\,

Comparing the values both sides

Let this equation be 1

\sqrt{x}(x+3y)=11\sqrt{2}\,

Let this equation be 2

\sqrt{y}(3x+y)=9\sqrt{3}\,

Squaring 1 and 2

x^3+9xy^2+6x^2y=242,9x^2y+y^3+6xy^2=243\,

Subtracting first one from the second equations just above,

we get

x-y=-1\,

x=y-1\,

Substituting this value in equation 2,

\sqrt{y}(3y-3+y)=9\sqrt{3}\,

(4y-3)\sqrt{y}=9\sqrt{3}\,

Comparing bothsides,y=3 satisfies the equation,and hence value of x=2

Hence \sqrt[3]{11\sqrt{2}+9\sqrt{3}}=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}\,
