Simplify the given expression to rational exponent form, justify each step by identifying the properties of rational exponents used. All work must be shown.
@Yttrium @E.ali
It is also equal to x^(-6/-3) which is equal to? Answer it!
Weel -6/-3 is 2 so X^2
well*
if one number have power and was in radical we have this : \[\sqrt{2^3}\]
\[\sqrt{2^3/2}\]
Yes. You got it right! :D
hey but its 3 not -3 .:)
It is found in the denominator, therefore it must be negative.
Being in the denominator makes it negative?
Yes! Always remember that.
I thought it would be -6/3
And what are the properties of rational exponents? It says to identify them in the problem
huh?
Let me give you an example for that. Let \[\sqrt[3]{x?} this is also equal \to x ^{1/3}\] Do you understand it now?
but its 2 not 3 friend :)
Oh, yeah I know what that is I just didn't know the name for it
Name for what?
I didn't know that x?−−√3thisisalsoequal→x1/3 were called the properties of rational exponents
I tried copy and pasting what you posted
It didn't work out... lol
i mean cuberoot of x is also equal to x raise to 1/3 Got it now?
Yes, thank you again
No prob. :)
happy for learn u ...:) I think Yttrium answer s good . Do u have another problems ? Or questions ?
I'm just not sure about the denominators being negative because I was doing this yesterday and I didn't make them negative
