Question

sqrt(10^2.6 x 10^.5 / 10^1.5)
my math book says leave the answer in radical or power form, not a decimal. I keep getting sqrt(10^8/5) but I'm unsure.

Answer 1

\[2.6+.5-1.5=1.6=\frac{8}{5}\]
\[\sqrt{10^{\frac{8}{5}}}\]
\[10^{\frac{8}{10}}=10^{\frac{4}{5}}\]

Answer 2

Not sure why you said 8/10 = 4/5, since it's 8/5, but thanks for confirming my answer.
