Answer 5

well for the girl nessa because you have two exponents in which it's dividing the numerator with the denominator, you would subtract the powers since the bases are the same by making the powers with common denominators right? so when u subtract you would get x^3/6 and when simplified, x^1/2 :) cheers

Answer 6

for will, first all the terms within the radical are being multiplied so you would add the exponents right? so you would get within the radical x^8 right? Then because it the 16th root, you can just put the 16 under the 8 giving also, x^1/2 when simplified. cheers broski
