I really need help with this question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to simplify this expression rewrite it in radical form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone please

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

you should do that with the following properties: \[\sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{ 1 }{ n }}\] \[a ^{n}.b ^{m}= a ^{n+m}\]

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

using those you can rewrite the expression as you want

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

and a,b,m,n are all real numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so would I get 1/2c[^{3/5}\] x -18/4d[^{1/6}\]

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

mm.. i would appreciate you to write your result with maths symbols because i didint understand what to got to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2c^3/5 x -18/4 D ^1/6

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

where the x comes from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiplication symbol I will use a different one next time

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

what happened with the c factor?

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

try first to multiply all the fraction, so you will have them in only one fraction

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

and you wont have to care about them anymore

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

Example: \[\frac{ 1 }{3 }a ^{-5}.\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }b ^{\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }}.\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\sqrt[3]{b}=\frac{ 1 }{ 18 }(a ^{-5}.b ^{\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }}.\sqrt[3]{b})\]

OpenStudy (emmatassone):

and then you use the properties i gave you @sethgprescott : \[\frac{ 1 }{ 18 }.(a ^{-5}.b ^{\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }}.b^ \frac{ 1 }{ 3 })=\frac{ 1 }{ 18 }(a^{-5}.b^{\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }+\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }})\]
