The value of y will be 18 or 144.
Given information:
The given expression is [tex]\sqrt[3]{\frac{144}{y} }[/tex].
It is required to find the values of y which are whole numbers.
Now, factorize 144 as,
[tex]144=2\times2\times2\times2\times3\times3\\144=2^3\times2\times3\times3[/tex]
So, for the value of given expression to be a whole number, the value of y should be,
[tex]2\times3\times3=18[/tex] or 144.
For the above values of y, the given expression will be,
[tex]\sqrt[3]{\frac{144}{y} }=\sqrt[3]{\frac{144}{18} }\\=\sqrt[3]{8} =2\\\sqrt[3]{\frac{144}{y} }=\sqrt[3]{\frac{144}{144} }\\=\sqrt[3]{1} \\=1[/tex]
Therefore, the value of y will be 18 or 144.
