Medal! Question: Using the properties of exponents and radicals, design at least three different equivalent forms of x². You must show how each one can be simplified back to x² in two or more steps. Stretch your mind and get creative! Keep in mind that something too simple, like x • x would not be acceptable since it takes only one step to convert it to x².
So, I know how to solve these equations, but writing them confuses me, especially when they have to equal a certain thing. Help?
