Simplify the fourth root of 162x^2 / y^8
Doing the fourth root is the same as taking it to the (1/4) power, so if you do that, you can distribute it into the parenthesis. For both the numerator and denominator
So, it is just 3.5676x / y^4
Be careful of the exponent for the "x" value though
*x^.5
Yup! :D Precisely
Do you need it in decimal form or in root form?
idk it just says to simplify
It should probably be in decimal form
Ok because alternatively you could find all the prime numbers that multiply with each other to get 162, but it depends on what your teacher wants :]
Can you help me with another one?
Sure
square root of x^2 - 2x +1
see if you can factor that
so just square root of (x-1)(x-1)
Perfect
Can also be writtn as (x-1)^2
So..there you go! :D
One more?
Ah sorry I can't, I have to finish my own work now >.< But good luck!
If you post other stuff, I may be able to help you out tomorrow but I have early clases tomorrow so bleh, good luck with yours!
