4rt of x^4,

x1/4 times x1/4 times x1/4 times x1/4

4rt of x^2 times x^2

x 4/6 over x 2/6

anonymous · Answer

Apparently the first three are supposed to be the same answer but I got different answers for the first two

cwrw238 · Answer

what will give x^4 when its multiplied by itself 4 times?    ( i.e. 4th root)

anonymous · Answer

x?

cwrw238 · Answer

right - so thats the first one done

anonymous · Answer

Cool! The second one I also got x and I know that one is right. Let me try the third one real quick.

cwrw238 · Answer

ok

anonymous · Answer

I don't really really know how to do it. I know the answer is also x, I'm just not sure how to get that.

cwrw238 · Answer

note  4th root of something is the same as something to the power 1/4

Okay, I was doing something TOTALLY different lol.

cwrw238 · Answer

4rt of x^2  =   (x^2) (1/4)

= x^(2 * 1/4)  = x^(½)  

multiplying by x^2:

x^(½)  * x^2 = x(½  * 2)  = x

cwrw238 · Answer

*  4rt of x^2  =   (x^2) ^(1/4)

anonymous · Answer

Okay, that actually makes sense! :D

For the last one, I got x^1/3

(x)^2/4 * ^2/6 = 8/24 = 1/3

Is that right?

cwrw238 · Answer

no if i read this right it a division:
