sqrt w^4/x^3

Answer 1

Is the bottom a sqrt too?

Answer 2

If so, multiply top and bottom by sqrt x^3

Answer 3

this is what it looks like

Answer 4

Right well that is the same as \[\sqrt{w^4}/\sqrt{x^3}\]
So just multiply the top and the bottom by \[\sqrt{x^3}\] giving you x^3 on the bottom and \[\sqrt{w^4}\sqrt{x}\] on the top

Answer 5

thats it or more to it

Answer 6

help @tcarroll010

Answer 7

Multiply the fraction by root x^3 over root x^3

Answer 8

\[\frac{ \sqrt{w^4}\sqrt{x^3} }{ x^3 }\]

Answer 9

And sqrt of w^4 is just w^2 so
\[\frac{ w^2\sqrt{x^3} }{ x^3 }\]

Answer 10

That's it.

Answer 11

thank u!!
