Question

\[3x ^{-1/4}(2x ^{1/2}-4x ^{1/4})+(16x)^{1/4}\]
\[6x ^{1/4}-12x ^{0}+2x ^{1/4}\]
\[8x ^{1/4}-1\]

Is this accurate simplification? My check isn't working out, but I could be punching it wrong in the calc. Thanks!

Answer 1

oops

Answer 2

\[-12x^0=-12\times 1=-12\]

Answer 3

Got it, I see that. Thanks!
