\(\huge \frac{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}{x^{\frac{4}{9}}}\)
Yeah but you need simplify that and Idk how exactly, don't you need to find the common denominator and stuff?
yep, lets work it step by step :) first property we use :- \(\large \color{red}{\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}}\) when the base is same, we can subtract the exponents of a fraction
\(\huge x^{\left( \frac{2}{3} - \frac{4}{9}\right) }\)
We need to simplify it into radical form btw
yes that comes later
Okay, I was just making sure that it was mentioned c:
okay :) do the subtraction, in the exponenet
\[\frac{ -2 }{ -6 }\]
?
\(\huge x^{\left( \frac{2}{3} - \frac{4}{9}\right) }\) \(\huge x^{ \left( \frac{ 2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} - \frac{4}{9} \right) } \) \(\huge x^{ \left( \frac{ 6}{9} - \frac{4}{9} \right) } \) \(\huge x^{ \left( \frac{ 6-4}{9} \right) } \) \(\huge x^{ \left( \frac{ 2}{9} \right) } \)
check if i simplified the exponent correctly
I believe so, because you don't need to subtract the denominators if they're the same and well, 6-4 is 2
good, lets keep going
second property we use :- \(\large \color{red}{ a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}}\)
\(\huge x^{ \left( \frac{ 2}{9} \right) } \) \(\huge \sqrt[9]{x^{2}} \)
thats the final simplified form notice that we oly had to use two exponent properties to simplify
Okay, thanks so much!
