Rationalize the denominator of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4 \over 6-\sqrt{7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zepp :D

OpenStudy (zepp):

\[\LARGE \frac{c}{A-\sqrt{B}}\rightarrow\frac{c(A+\sqrt{B})}{(A-\sqrt{B})(A+\sqrt{B})}\]

OpenStudy (zepp):

And use the property \(\large (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k :) ill giv it a try :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[24+4\sqrt{7}\over29\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

represent\[3x ^{5\over7}\]in radical form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont exactly understand this ^ :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge3 \sqrt[7]{x ^{5}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its that :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you are right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if i turn \[\huge \sqrt[6]{x ^{5}}\]into exponent form i would get\[\huge x ^{5\over6}\]?? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge (x)^{\frac{m}{n}} \implies \sqrt[n]{x ^{m}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes correct..

OpenStudy (zepp):

\[\large \frac{4}{6-\sqrt{7}}=\frac{4(6+\sqrt{7})}{6^2-\sqrt{7}^2}=\frac{6*4+4\sqrt{7}}{36-7}=\frac{24+4\sqrt{7}}{29}\]

OpenStudy (zepp):

Correct :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i do \[\huge x ^{2\over5}\times x^{2\over9}\]? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it need common denominators? :)

OpenStudy (zepp):

It needs common base only.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge (x)^a \cdot (x)^b = (x)^{a+b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[\huge x ^{18\over45}\times x^{10\over45}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Going well..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^{28/45}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you are right... Well Done..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and when dividing powers you subtract right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes very right..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge \frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when raising a power to another power we multiply?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge (x^a)^b = (x)^{a \times b}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wats \[i^{-37}\]??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i^37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well gtg...thanks for the help :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[i^2 = -1\] \[i^3 = -i\] \[i^4 = 1\] Do you want to find its value ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i did :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you got as answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify \[\huge i ^{37}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don get how to do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See first divide 37 by 4 and find the remainder..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 4?

OpenStudy (chaise):

i=sqrt(-1) i^2=-1 i^3=-i i^4=i i^5=sqrt(-1) i^6=-1 i^7=-i i^8=i Do you see the relationship and repetition? Simply divide 37 by 4, and use the remainder to determine what the power will be, and then use the above table thingo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because i^4 = 1 it will be easy for you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.25?

OpenStudy (chaise):

The series repeats itself after the fourth power.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no not this way.. 37/4 remainder 1 I think..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im.....not getting it :\

OpenStudy (chaise):

i^36=1 i^37=i^1 That is why.
