evaluate (11^1/9)-^12
flip it; multiply exps; simplify to 4/3 and cbrt the denominator of 11^4
\[\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{11^4}}\]
can 11 be cubed?
not that I can tell; nothing perfect cubes to 11
at least no integers do
so if it cant be cubed I just work out 11^4?
well, notice that 11^4 = 11^3 * 11 \[\frac1{11\sqrt[3]{11}}\] \[\frac1{11\sqrt[3]{11}}*\frac{\sqrt[3]{11^2}}{\sqrt[3]{11^2}}\] \[\frac{\sqrt[3]{11^2}}{121}\] maybe
my book gives the answer 3/10
that seems a bit contrived; you sure your matching up the right problem/answer ?
yes doubled checked before posting
sorry, i question is incorrect
evaluate (11^1/9)-^1/2
still not 3/10 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%2811^%281%2F9%29%29^%28-1%2F2%29
could my textbook be wrong?
its possible, but there tends to be a myriad of reasons as to what might be going awry
B^a^b = B^ab is the basic rule here; then simplify the results
\[(11^{1/9})^{-1/2}=11^{-1/18}=1/\sqrt[18]{11}\]
@ radar my textbook gives the answer 3/10
@ Hollywood_chrissy Would it be possible to post a digital picture of the expression shown in your textbook?
i can try
Question 41.
oooooooooh is this \[(11\tfrac{1}{9})^{-\frac{1}{2}}\]
then get rid of that stupid improper fraction and write \[(\frac{100}{9})^{-\frac{1}{2}}=(\frac{9}{100})^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{100}{9}}=\frac{10}{3}\]
lol, brilliant, thank you
yw
see, that was one myraidecimal circumstance lol
sorry??
Thanks for clearing that up!
