dont get help from this guy hes no help at all
whats the difference between x^3 + x^3 = ? or (x^3)*(x^3) =?
amorfide is no help at all really wait and see
\[a^{m} \times a^{n}=a^{m+n}\] although he was correct in attempting to simplify he could have changed 3+3+3+3 to be 12 so his simplification is not correct \[x^{3+3+3+3}=x^{12}\]
ofcourse the addition of powers rule only works if you are multiplying since the end of the question asks if adding the expressions together is the same answer, that is not true as if you had 2+2+2+2 you get 8 but \[2^{4}\] is not equal to 8 (I am just using this as an example)
it doesn't say 12 anywhere which is what I am saying he was half correct in simplifying but it can be simplified further
if this makes sense to you I can continue to question 2
\[x^{-6} = \frac{ 1 }{ x^{6} }\] so we can rewrite \[\sqrt[3]{x^{-6}}\] to be \[\sqrt[3]{\frac{ 1 }{ x^{6} }}\] but we know the cuberoot of 1 is 1 so \[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt[3]{x^{6}} }\] NOTE this is the bottom of the fraction, we are only working with the denominator at this time
\[\sqrt[3]{x^{6}}= \sqrt[3]{x^3 \times x^{3}}\] \[\sqrt[3]{x^{3} \times x^{3}}= \sqrt[3]{x^{3}} \times \sqrt[3]{x^{3}}\] obviously the cube root of x^3 = x so the bottom of our fraction is now \[\frac{ 1 }{ x^{2}}\]
and ofcourse you can rewrite this \[\frac{ 1 }{ x^{2} }\] to be \[x^{-2}\]
so since this is the bottom of the fraction, just replace it in the original question to get \[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt[3]{x^{-6}} }=\frac{ 1 }{ x^{-2} }\]
if this makes sense I will do question 3
\[\frac{ a^{m} }{ a^{n} }= a^{m-n}\]
so we subtract the powers on this one
\[\frac{ x^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3}} }{ x^{\frac{ 4 }{ 9} } } = x^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }}\]
\[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 4 }{9 }= \frac{ 6 }{ 9 } - \frac{ 4 }{ 9 }\]
so our answer so far is \[x^{\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }}\]
now we want radical form
\[a^{\frac{ m }{ n }} = \sqrt[n]{a^{m}}\]
so we have \[x^{\frac{ 2 }{ 9 }}= \sqrt[9]{x^{2}}\]
if this makes sense we can continue
we know that \[\sqrt[n]{a^{m}} = a^{\frac{ m }{ n }}\] so we have \[\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = (x^{3})^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}\] we know that \[(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m \times n}\] \[(x^{3})^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }} = x^{3 \times \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}\] which becomes \[x^{1}=x\]
we know that \[a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n}\] so \[x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }} \times x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }} \times x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }} = x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } +\frac{ 1 }{ 3 } +\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}\] which becomes \[x^{1}=x\]
we know that \[a^{ -m}=\frac{ 1 }{ a^{m} }\] so we have \[\frac{ 1 }{ x^{-1} } = \frac{ 1 }{ \frac{ 1 }{ x } }\] this is dividing by a fraction we know that \[\frac{ a }{ b } \div \frac{ c }{ d } = \frac{ a }{ b } \times \frac{ d }{ c }\] so we have \[1 \div \frac{ 1 }{ x } = 1 \times x = x\]
since we know that \[\sqrt[n]{a^{m}} = a^{\frac{ m }{ n }}\] and \[a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^m+n\] and \[(a^{m})^{n}=a^{m \times n}\] then \[\sqrt[11]{x^{5} \times x^{4} \times x^{2}} = x^{\frac{ 11 }{ 11 }}=x\]
the coding messed up that should be \[a^{m} \times a^{n} = a^{m+n}\]
would appreciate a medal for best answer is this helped you :)
if you need anything cleared up let me know
anytime! I try my best to help :)
