Help solving: (9(x^-2)t^6)^(3/2) all divided by (27x^5(t^-3))^(2/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just having trouble with the first step.

OpenStudy (chihiroasleaf):

\[\frac{ \left( 9\left( x ^{-2}t ^{6} \right) \right)^{\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }} }{ \left( 27x ^{5}\left( t ^{-3} \right) \right) ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }}}\] is this your question? what are you asking to do? simplify it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I have to simplify it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

expand the brackets first \[(a^mb^n)^p=a^{ m p }b^{ n p}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't there a way to cancel out the 3/2 and the 2/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I don't think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also: remember \[a^-n=\frac{ 1 }{ a^n }\]

OpenStudy (chihiroasleaf):

@ecuddy what do you get from the step that @Chelsea04 said? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{(27s^-3 t^9)}/{(9s^(10/3) t^-2)}

OpenStudy (chihiroasleaf):

why is it become 's' ? :D yes... now simplify using the properties \[\frac{ x ^{m} }{x ^{n} } = x ^{m-n}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was 's' to begin with, I just typed in 'x' by accident. :)

OpenStudy (chihiroasleaf):

:lol: ok.., so.., what's the result? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still working
