Question

I need some serious guidance on this problem. The problem below needs to be simplified as low as possible as a fraction. I can only get it into a sqaure root.

Answer 1

\[(1/4)^{-3/2}\]

Answer 2

Hey there! Think of it as 2 steps that you need to do. Lets break it up so that you only have to see one think in the exponent area.

\[(1/4)^{-3}\]

Answer 3

Ok I'll start it that way.

Answer 4

Now when you get _________, I want you to take the square root of it. Is that okay with you?

Answer 5

\[\sqrt{1/4^{-3}}\]
I got this..... I might be doing it wrong.

Answer 6

Well, You are doing it all correct, Try solving 1/4^-3. I know it seems hard but if you don't get it, I'll help.

Answer 7

I'm not sure for fractions, but I believe you do flip it.....?

Answer 8

Here I'll throw in some advice. When you see a fraction and a negative exponent. Think of it as Flipping the equation. So that would then become 4^3.

Answer 9

Yep! You're right on it!

Answer 10

4^3?

Answer 11

Yep! 4 x 4 x 4.

Answer 12

:D Ha! 64

Answer 13

Yepppp! Now we are at the easy step. What is the square root of 64?

Answer 14

Easy..... 8

Answer 15

What would be next?
