Question

_______
6√x^2y^3 Express with fractional exponents instead of radicals.

Answer 1

you can rewrite this as

6xy^3/2

do you understand why?

Answer 2

Okay and whats next?

Answer 3

that's it, but do you understand how I got that? If so, tell me how. If not, I'll explain.

Answer 4

Well you just combine it all but the problem doesn't fit in my blanks

Answer 5

you're being pretty vague

Answer 6

Okay?

Answer 7

which tells me, you don't know what I did

Answer 8

Im trying to figure it out.

Answer 9

well i started by seeing that i can take an x out of the square root symbol, because the square root of x^2 is x

however, y^3 is a little trickier to take the square root of and the question just as for a fractional representation, so I rewrote it as y^3/2

if it was finding the fourth root instead of the square root, then i would write it as y^3/4
5th root would be y^3/5

hopefully you see the pattern

Answer 10

asks for*

Answer 11

Kinda yes

Answer 12

whatever the root is, it could be squared, cubed, 4th, 5th, 6th root etc, goes in the denominator (bottom part) and the exponent goes on the numerator (top part)

Answer 13

Okay
