Answer 16

Rewrite the following (3sqrt(t))^2
Rewrite the following k3/2
Rewrite the following 3sqrt(a2)

Answer 17

I can't read that. Is there anyway that you could type that in as an equation?

Answer 18

I can try

Answer 19

This is the only way I can think of http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%283sqrt%28t%29%29%5E2

Answer 20

yeah. so rewrite the equation as 9t.

Answer 21

:)

Answer 22

But the answer are t3/2 t2/3 3/2t 2/3t

Answer 23

I don't get it

Answer 24

oh. well the link you sent me came out as 9t.

Answer 25

Yeah, I know but it tells me to rewrite the problem. I'm so lost

Answer 26

I'm sorry. :( I can't figure that out either. My best guess is that you square the t's so the answer would kind-of come out as 3/2t.
