Question

Simplify the following problem

Answer 1

\[\Huge\left( x ^{1/2} \right)^{1/6}\]

Answer 2

I hate these so much

Answer 3

what if i ask you (x^2)^3 ?

Answer 4

I'm going to guess that this is x^2/4

Answer 5

2/3*

Answer 6

why you divided the powers? o.O

Answer 7

wat

Answer 8

\[\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{6}=?\]

Answer 9

\[2/3.\] So, am I right about it being \[\Huge{x^{2/3}}\] ?

Answer 10

multiply fractions by multiplying straight across

Answer 11

oops. \[1/12\]

Answer 12

So this is the general rule:
\[(x^m)^n=x^{mn}\]
So \[(x^{\frac{1}{2}})^{\frac{1}{6}}= x^{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6}}\]
