PLEASE help with equation and please explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[4]{128n^8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First the four above the radical like that means that (128n^8) is raised to the 1/4 power\[\sqrt[4]{128n^8}=(128n^8)^{1/4}\]

Next..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you have two things raised to the power this is really what it means\[(ax)^b=a^bx^b\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an exponent raised to a power you have to multiply the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x^a)^b=x^{ab}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did this help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes so now you multiply the exponents?
