Question

Simplify x^1/4 (2x^3/4-x^1/4)

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank You

Answer 1

First you have to multiply x^(1/4) into the parenthesis. This can be done by adding the exponents.

2x^1 - x^1/2

Does that make sense to you?

Answer 2

I understand what your saying but the fraction part of the equation is hard to understand.

Answer 3

im not understanding how the 3/4 turned into 1

Answer 4

3/4 = 0.75
1/4 = 0.25

Answer 5

Ohhh, okay. I see now

Answer 6

And for the second term, x^(0.25 + 0.25) = x^0.5 = x^(1/2)

Answer 7

Okay, I understand now. Thank you so much
