Question

Simplify by expressing fractional exponents instead of radicals.

^8√(x^2y^4)

Answer 1

? ^8√(x^2y^4)

Answer 2

What is in front of the "^" ?

Answer 3

it means it an exponent

Answer 4

*its*

Answer 5

ik, but, exponent of what?

Answer 6

you can't just have \[^8\]

Answer 7

The question that it is asking me to solve has a exponent 8√

Answer 8

so it is just ^8 ?!

Answer 9

maybe, \[\sqrt[8]{x^2y^4}?\]

Answer 10

yes like that

Answer 11

OK, so take them separately
\[\sqrt[8]{x^2} \times \sqrt[8]{y^4}\]
Now consider the following formula:
\[\huge {\sqrt[a]{b^c}=b^\frac{c}{a} }\]
