Help solve!!! the quantity of x to the four thirds power, over x to the five sixths power the sixteenth root of the quantity of x times x to the third times x to the fourth

Is this the first problem? \[|\large \frac{ x^{4/3} }{ x^{5/6} }\]
yes
Use the identity: \[\large \frac{ x^m }{ x^n} = x^{m-n}\]
idk how
\[\large \frac{ x^{4/3} }{ x^{5/6} } = x^{4/3 - 5/6} = x^{8/6 - 5/6} = x^{3/6} = x^{1/2}\]
the second one is 16 on the outside of the radical symbol and x times x^3 times x^4 under the radical symbol
morganfaith__ keep in mind that -> \(\bf \Large{ a^{-{\color{red} n}} = \cfrac{1}{a^{\color{red} n}} \qquad \qquad a^{\frac{{\color{blue} n}}{{\color{red} m}}} = \sqrt[{\color{red} m}]{a^{\color{blue} n}}\\ \quad \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{x^{\frac{4}{3}}}{x^{\frac{5}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{x^{\frac{4}{3}}}{1}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x^{\frac{5}{6}}}\implies \cfrac{x^{\frac{4}{3}}}{1}\cdot x^{-\frac{5}{6}}\\ \quad \\ \implies x^{\frac{4}{3}+(-\frac{5}{6})}\implies x^{\frac{4}{3}-\frac{5}{6}}}\)
what about the second one
yes
x^3 times x^4 are both inside the radical and a small 16 is to the left of the radical?
\[\Large \sqrt[16]{x^3 \times x^4}?\]
but its x*x^3*x^4 under the radical symbol
\(\huge \bf \sqrt[16]{x\cdot x^3\cdot x^4}\quad ?\)
jdoe has it right
well, keep in mind that \(\Large \bf a^{\frac{{\color{blue} n}}{{\color{red} m}}} = \sqrt[{\color{red} m}]{a^{\color{blue} n}}\)
change all "radicand" to rational exponentials, and add away
to what?
or .. ahemm... well. just add inside the radicand, and then change to rational exponent
so it would be 3x^7?
of just x^7
\(\bf \large \sqrt[16]{x\cdot x^3\cdot x^4}\implies \sqrt[16]{x^1\cdot x^3\cdot x^4}\)
x * x^3 * x^4 = x^(1+3+4) = ?
8?
x^8 Taking the 16th root is same as raising to the exponent (1/16)
so the answer is x^8
No. (x^8)^(1/16) = ?
\(\Large \bf \sqrt[{\color{red}{ 16}}]{x\cdot x^3\cdot x^4}\implies \sqrt[{\color{red}{ 16}}]{x^1\cdot x^3\cdot x^4}\implies \sqrt[{\color{red}{ 16}}]{x^\square }\implies x^{\frac{\square }{{\color{red}{ 16}}}}\)
so x^8/16
simplify the exponent.
which is x^1/2?
Yes. The answers to both problem is x^(1/2) or square root of x.
thanks so much!!!
