how can u write this using rational exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1343960235133:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

power is the numerator, root is the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large \sqrt[q]{x^p}=x^{\frac{p}{q}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

once you write \[y^{\frac{4}{6}}\] dont forget to reduce your fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey if i simplify (3a^3-7a^2+a)-(6a^3-4a^2-8) do i get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that a minus sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(3a^3-7a^2+a)-(6a^3-4a^2-8)\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3a^6-11a^4+a-8 or -3a^3-11a^2+4-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remove the parentheses first, distribute the minus sign as you go, that is, change all the signs in the second parentheses i can write the answer if you like or you can try it yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neither answer is correct. the first one is closest, but you did not use the distributive law first before combining like terms
