when you're multiplying powers your just adding them right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur timing it to the power hun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you're right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the equation is x^1/4 * x^2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do ur best

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right...so you instead add 1/4 + 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 11/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you have a common denominator of 12?

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

...no? \[\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{12} + \frac{8}{12} = \frac{11}{12}\]

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

x^m * x^n = x^(m + n) x^1/4 * x^2/3 = x^ (1/4 + 2/3) = x^11/12

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right @Hannah34 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! Thank you @johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Of course :)
