Question

Can someone solve and show work? Easy medal!

Answer 1

I think B is right, but dont quote me on it!

Answer 2

B is not correct, btw

Answer 3

o...my bad

Answer 4

I was thinking A, but I am not sure why.

Answer 5

2 * 3 = 6
For the x parts, add the exponents.

Answer 6

how do you know B isnt right?

Answer 7

\[(x^2)*(x^5)=(x*x)*(x*x*x*x*x)=x^7\]

It appears the rule is to add exponents. What's 6+(1/2)?

Answer 8

Then A would make sense if Mathstudent55 is right

Answer 9

Obviously 3, but I don't think that is the correct way to solve it. I think mathstudent55 is on the right track.

Answer 10

6+1/2 is not 3.

Answer 11

This a test?

Answer 12

6*(1/2)=3

Answer 13

Oh, I thought you said 6 / 2 or times 1/2, my mistake. And no, it is a review. I did my review and missed six so I will probably post the other 5 to see my mistakes for the test.

Answer 14

o...I think A is right

Answer 15

@Monster143 why do you think that?

Answer 16

\(\Large(2x^6)(3x^{\frac{1}{2}}) \)

\(= \Large2 \times 3 \times x^6 \times x^{\frac{1}{2}} \)

\(= \Large 6 \times x^{6 + \frac{1}{2}} \)

\(= \Large 6 \times x^{\frac{6}{1} + \frac{1}{2}} \)

\(= \Large 6 x^{\frac{12}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} \)

Now add the exponents since they already have a common denominator.

Answer 17

Very clear and concise, also correct. Thanks a ton!

Answer 18

the comment that mathstudent55 "put....2 * 3 = 6 For the x parts, add the exponents"

Answer 19

The answer is A

Answer 20

TaDa!

Answer 21

Well @mathstudent55 completely missed an opportunity to let them learn something. Sad.

Answer 22

huh? ^

Answer 23

I understood the basics and I know the rules for exponents, I was just confused because of the rational exponent. Thanks again.
