OpenStudy (danjs):

ok

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[\sqrt[4]{a} = a ^{1/4}\]

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

so a y^7/4 must be in the answer?

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[a ^{x ^{y}} = a ^{x*y}\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

right

OpenStudy (danjs):

each power inside, will be multiplied by 1/4

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

2x^1/2

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

(1)?

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[16^{1/4}*x ^{2*1/4}*y ^{7*1/4}\]

OpenStudy (danjs):

the fourth root of 16 is 2 16 = 2x2x2x2

OpenStudy (danjs):

right, 1 is it

OpenStudy (danjs):
