Question

Simplify. Express the quotient as a radical expression.

ninth root of x to the seventh power over ninth root of x to the fifth power

ninth root of x squared

ninth root of x to the twelfth power

zero root of x squared

eighty first root of x to the thirty fifth power

do i subtract or multiply?????

Answer 1

i don't understand... subtract or multiply what? are these 5 separate problems?

Answer 2

no the bottom is the answer list

Answer 3

cus if i subtract 7-5 it would =2 wich is an answer

but if i multiply then it would be 35 which is also an answer

Answer 4

oh i see.... this is the problem:
"ninth root of x to the seventh power over ninth root of x to the fifth power"

and the following 4 lines are the answer choices...???

Answer 5

\[\sqrt[9]{x7} \over \sqrt[9]{x5}\]

Answer 6

yea exactly

Answer 7

writing the top and bottom as powers with rational exponents, you'll get:
\(\huge \frac{x^{\frac{7}{9}}}{x^{\frac{5}{9}}} \)....

subtract the exponents... to get \(\large x^{\frac{2}{9}} \)
now write that out in radical form

Answer 8

ohhhh snap man thanks i got it!!!!!!!! :D
