Question

Exponent question

Answer 1

Recall
\[\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}\]

Answer 2

Using that rule, you can rewrite the thing as...


\[\frac{ 9^{1/4} *9^{1/2} }{ 9^{5/4} }\]

Answer 3

Now use the exponent rule...
\[x^a*x^b = x^{a+b}\]
and
\[\frac{ 1 }{ x^a } = \frac{ x^{-a} }{ 1 }\]

Answer 4

so what's the question exactly? you don't know how to solve this?

Answer 5

so then it would be 9^3/4-9 ^5/4

Answer 6

So 9^-1/2 Thank you so much c:

Answer 7

careful when you type in exponents, use parenthesis.

9^(3/4) for example

Answer 8

You are right so far. you can simplify more still

Answer 9

\[9^{-1/2}=\frac{ 1 }{ 9^{1/2} } = \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{9} } = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]
