is this your problem?
\[(x^\frac{1}{9}x^\frac{4}{9})^\frac{18}{15}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea but you multiply the x's inside the parenthesis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got x^2/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(x^ \frac{1}{9}*x^\frac{4}{9})^\frac{18}{15}\] is the same thing as\[(x^ \frac{1}{9}x^\frac{4}{9})^\frac{18}{15}\]
\[(x^ \frac{1}{9}x^\frac{4}{9})^\frac{18}{15}= (x^\frac{5}{9})^\frac{18}{15}= x^\frac{90}{135}=x^\frac{2}{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah your right

that's exactly how i did it thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no prob
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you help me on another one.?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
do i just add the 3 and 5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah but do you know why you can do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because the square root is the same?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, so you could factor out the square root of 2\[3\sqrt{2}+5\sqrt{2}=(3+5)\sqrt{2}=8\sqrt{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what happens if they aren't ... like this one:
\[6\sqrt{3}+10\sqrt{12}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
think of how you can rewrite \[10 \sqrt{12}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[10 \sqrt{12}= 10 \sqrt{4*3}= 10\sqrt{4}\sqrt{3}= 20\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so now you have \[6 \sqrt{3}+20 \sqrt{3}= (6+20)\sqrt{3}= 26\sqrt{3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooooooo okay now i get it so just get them to equal eachother

OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, thats the idea..... but its not always that easy to see it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so like this one\[2\sqrt{5}-3\sqrt{20}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im going to try it hold up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh my gosh.! i got it!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[-4\sqrt{5}\]
that's my answer

nice.. thats right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there's another one its actually harder kinda confusing can you help me out on this one also please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt[3]{3}+4\sqrt[3]{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yu there?
