I need help fast I will medal
idk how to do it at all and I need to finish my hw before 4...
So please spend those 4 minutes helping me out!!!!
help explain!!! @yaraam @Math2400 @MakaylaTracy
Rule of exponents and roots: \(\Large\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}\)
remember that \(\large\sqrt{x}=\sqrt[2]{x}\)
ok thx
You're welcome. :)
ok I'm jumping ahead a lot but is it A?
or C?
maybe?
@StudyGurl14 could it be C?
C is incorrect. Can you show me how you got that answer?
well idk how to do it so i kind of guessed and did 3*3 randomly and it's the only one with 9... yeah I guessed lol
Try using the information I gave you instead of guessing. You'll get better results. :p Let's do it together, okay? If \(\large \sqrt{x}=x^{1/2}\), what does \(\large\sqrt{3}\) equal?
um... idk?
Let's look at the rule again... \(\Large\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}\) With \(\large\sqrt{3}\), you can see that \(\sf x = 3\), \(\sf n = 2\) (because \(\sqrt{x}=\sqrt[2]{x}\)), and \(\sf m=1\) (because \(3=3^1\)). So plug in those values into \(\large x^{\frac{m}{n}}\)
PS. This time try. I have a feeling you're not trying.
ok so for x m/n.... 3 1/2
because u said x=3 m=1 and n=2
Correct! So \(\large\sqrt{3}=3^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
Now you have \(\large\sqrt[5]{3}\), correct? What does that equal, if you apply the same logic?
3 3/5?
Not quite. Almost though. Remember that \(3=3^1\)
3 1/10
No. If \(\Large\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}\), and \(\Large\sqrt[5]{3}=\sqrt[5]{3^1}\), what does \(\large\sqrt[5]{3}\) equal?
3 1/5
Correct. Now you have \(\Large (3^{\frac{1}{2}})(3^{\frac{1}{5}})\)
Another rule of exponents: \(\Large (x^{n})(x^{m})=x^{n+m}\)
Can you do the rest?
So is my answer D?
Yep! Nice job!
Thanks SO much! I was so lost, just tying to guess the final answer the whole time XD Thanks for explaining!
You're so welcome. I'm glad you understand now. :) Have a nice day and don't hesitate to tag me if you ever have another problem you need help with. Got to go each lunch now!
Ok! Haha for me it's 4:26 pm. Well, time differences are annoying
:p
