Question

Simplify the given expression to rational exponent form, justify each step by identifying the properties of rational exponents used. All work must be shown.

Answer 1

okay, so to understand this problem, you have to understand that a root will always convert to a fraction in exponent form

Answer 2

so here, the expression can be simplified to 1/x^(-6/3)

Answer 3

this is good, but in most cases, you would want x to be in the numerator of the fraction

Answer 4

so, to make, say "a" to be 1/a, you would raise it to the power of -1. This can go both ways, so if you want to draw a value out of the denominator and into the numerator, then you would want to raise it to the power of -1 as well

Answer 5

thus the final answer would be x^(-1(-6/3))=x^(6/3)!

Answer 6

thanks

Answer 7

np 8D

Answer 8

just remember this stuff because it won't eveer go away
