1. Problem Description

Simplify the expression 324324\sqrt[4]{32} - 3\sqrt[4]{2}.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can rewrite 3232 as 252^5. Then the expression becomes:
254324\sqrt[4]{2^5} - 3\sqrt[4]{2}
We can rewrite the first term as:
2424324\sqrt[4]{2^4 \cdot 2} - 3\sqrt[4]{2}
Using the property abn=anbn\sqrt[n]{ab} = \sqrt[n]{a}\sqrt[n]{b}, we can simplify the first term:
24424324\sqrt[4]{2^4} \cdot \sqrt[4]{2} - 3\sqrt[4]{2}
Since 244=2\sqrt[4]{2^4} = 2, the expression becomes:
2243242\sqrt[4]{2} - 3\sqrt[4]{2}
Now, we can combine the terms since they have the same radical part:
(23)24(2-3)\sqrt[4]{2}
124-1\sqrt[4]{2}
24-\sqrt[4]{2}

3. Final Answer

24-\sqrt[4]{2}
