3. Simplify the given expression to radical form and justify each step by identifying the properties of rational exponents used. All work must be shown.

I forgot this
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
I dunno what to do from:
(x^(2/3))/(x^(4/9)) = x^((2/3)-(4/9)) = x^(2/6)
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Tell me how you got there. Maybe it will boost my memory ahaha
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
When you divide you subtract the exponents right? Thats what i did.

Gimme some time;)
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Thanks for helping him because I couldnt >_< x_x
OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
Is this how it's supposed to look like???
\[\frac{ x^(\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }) }{x^\frac{ 4 }{ ?9} }\]
OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
should be 4/9 on the bottom

no parentheses..
sammixboo (sammixboo):
Yeah, no parentheses, that is just to show it is separate from everything else
OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
Kk!!! First you have to subtract the exponents..\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\] Wut do u get?xD!!
sammixboo (sammixboo):
I thought that is what you do omg
sammixboo (sammixboo):

:) Thats wut u gotta doxD!!
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):
*Close* Not quite. Give it another shot? Maybe?
undeadknight26 (undeadknight26):
Im out of ammo o.o

Hhaha!!! Kk!! It's x^2/9 *because.....you have to rewrite the first problem by multiplying top and bottom to get 6/9. Then you have to subtract 2/9.
