@Directrix he started messaging me and I explained:)

Directrix (directrix):

I would like to know the steps for my own learning.

OpenStudy (dan815):

lol

OpenStudy (lukecrayonz):

Sure! :P 81^-3/4 you can use the laws of exponents to rewrite it A positive rational exponent is b^m/n= nth root (b^m) A negative exponent would be b^-m/n = 1/b^m/n (when you have a negative exponent, you can rewrite it over one so it's positive)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

84^3/4 is 27, so 1/27 got my anwser

OpenStudy (dan815):

beautiful

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is 27 and b 1/27

OpenStudy (dan815):

noo

ok im dum

Directrix (directrix):

How did you get 1/27, the explicit steps for that is what I am asking. @Lukecrayonz And, what about this part, " write the expression 81^-3/4 in radical notation." What is the answer for that?

OpenStudy (dan815):
