1. 3^1/2 + 3^1/2 = 3^1/2+1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What did u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3^1/2+3^1/2 = 3^1 = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is 3

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

which is the correct question, its a bit difficult to tell 1. adding like terms \[3^{\frac{1}{2}} + 3^{\frac{1}{2}} = \] 2. Multiplying the same base \[3^{\frac{1}{2}} \times 3^{\frac{1}{2}} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

irs number 2

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

ok... so the rule for the same base is add the powers here is the theory you'd see in a text \[x^a \times x^b = x^{a + b}\] so the base in your answer won't change it will be 3 so now just add the powers... hope it makes sense
