hey guys, new user.

(50x^(3/4)y/2x^(1/2))^(1/2) + (x^(1/2)y^(1/2)/9x^(3/4)y^(3/2))^(-1/2)

how would i approach this?

okay i 'll list two properties, they should be enough.

first,

$$\frac {a^m} {a^n} = a^{m-n}$$

second,

$$(a^m)^n = a^{mn}$$


That should do it. Can you try now?

anonymous · Answer

i have the properties in the text book.

apoorvk · Answer

so, use them. apply them to the "x" part of each term in the problem, simplify it. are you getting any answers? post 'em.

anonymous · Answer

=$$\left( 25x ^{1/4}y \right)^{1/2}+\left( x ^{-1/4}y ^{-1}/9 \right)^{-1/2}$$

I'm going to block you appovk, you needy nerd.

apoorvk · Answer

VERY WELL!!! Now apply the second property!!

multiply the powers outside the brackets to the the powers of each term inside the bracket.

needy nerd? LOL. what's that by the way?
