Question

what is the exact value of simplify if possible

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 8q^2 }{ \sqrt{q^17}}\]

Answer 2

\[\frac{8q^2}{\sqrt{q^{17}}}\]

Answer 3

\[\sqrt{q^{17}}=q^8\sqrt{q}\]

Answer 4

this gives you
\[\frac{8q^8}{q^8\sqrt{q}}\]

Answer 5

finish by cancelling the \(q^8\) top and bottom

Answer 6

so q4 for the bottom

Answer 7

no just \(\frac{8}{\sqrt{q}}\)

Answer 8

you have \(\sqrt{q^{17}}\) and think "two goes in to seventeen eight times with a remainder of one, so \(\sqrt{q^{17}}=q^8\sqrt q\)
