do you know how to multiply things like\[x ^{2} * x ^{3}\]
if so, a neat trick I like to use is knowing that the square root of 3times 5th root of 3 is the same as \[(3^{1/2})( 3^{1/5})\]
If you don't already know... when multiplying powers, if the base is the same you just add the exponents. x^2 plus x^3 equals x^5. I hope this gets you far enough to find out the answer!
Well, as these are they cannot be multiplied. They would have to have the same index to multiply them. Like if it was the square root of 3 times the square root of 5, you would get the square root of 15 as your answer. That is not the case here. But we can change the form of these to exponents and then multiply them. Do you know how to do that?
i do not. my online class expects me to do a test before learning the lesson.
The square root of 3 looks like this\[\sqrt{3}\]. It could also look like this|dw:1402444389919:dw|It also looks like this|dw:1402444424146:dw|
The "2" is called the index of the root. With the 5th root of something, it looks like this\[\sqrt[5]{3}\]It could also look like this|dw:1402444506799:dw|
