Question

Simplify. PLEASE HELP. Medal and Fan!

Answer 1

\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\times3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 2

@misty1212 i feel like this is really easy, would it be 6 1/2?

Answer 3

are these mixed numbers or exponents?

Answer 4

mixed numbers

Answer 5

your sure, it is \(3\tfrac{1}{2}\) not \(3^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

Answer 6

Wait, youre right. its the second one

Answer 7

lol how'd i guess?

Answer 8

lol

Answer 9

first off if it was mixed numbers it would certainly not be what you wrote
\[\frac{7}{2}\times \frac{7}{2}=\frac{49}{4}=12\tfrac{1}{4}\]

Answer 10

but since they are exponetns, all you have to do is add them
what is
\[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}?\]

Answer 11

2/4? or 2/2?

Answer 12

second one

Answer 13

1/2

Answer 14

okay

Answer 15

oh no dear, how is one half plus one half equal one half?

Answer 16

what is one half plus one half?

Answer 17

i didnt think through that. and 2/2

Answer 18

1

Answer 19

whew!

Answer 20

so \[3^1\] is your answer, better known as \(3\) because we don't really write an exponent if it is one, do we?

Answer 21

no

Answer 22

but we dont times the 3 ?

Answer 23

\[\color\magenta\heartsuit\]

Answer 24

times it by what ?

Answer 25

3*3 is 6? or were just simplifying, not solving, right?

Answer 26

this is what you are using
\[b^n\times b^m=b^{n+m}\]

Answer 27

what you multiply with the same base, you add the exponents

Answer 28

oh okay so 3 is the answer

Answer 29

in this case
\[\huge 3^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 3^{\frac{1}{2}}=3^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}}=3^1=3\]

Answer 30

yes 3 is the answer
btw \(3^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt3\)
