How do you factor and simplify these algebraic expressions step by step? Please help!:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+9)^{1/4}+(x+9)^{3/4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+7)^{-1/5}+(x+7)^{-6/5}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

would it help if you imagine \[(x + 9)^{1/4} + (x+ 9)^{3/4}\]t be like \[(x+9) + (x+ 9)^3\] since they have common denominators you can imagine it like this then just put the necessary changes later. do you know how to factor it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Honestly, from there, no, i'm not sure

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

not even \[(x+ 9) + (x+ 9)^3\]?? what about \[a + a^3\] do you know gow to factor that out?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

how*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Over the summer I have blanked on everything math.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

you factor out \[a+ a^3\]as \[a(1 + a^2)\] so now...do you know how to do \[(x+ 9) + (x+9)^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1+(x+9)^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

no. \[(x+9)[ 1 + (x+9)^2]\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

there should be x + 9 outside

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

now just put/4 on all the exponents of x + 9 and you're done

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i have to go now so i hope you got it. good luck
