Question

Rewrite in simplest radical form 1/x^−3/6. Show each step of your process.

Answer 1

i know how to get to -1/2 when you simplify the exponent, but i dont know where to go from there

Answer 2

so for example

sqrtx = x^1/2

where 2 is the index of radical - this will help you ?

Answer 3

courage - this is easy

Answer 4

im confused

Answer 5

so you know again that

1/x = x^(-1)

yes ?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

-3/6 simplifie by 3 and will get -1/2

yes ?

Answer 8

yes i have that

Answer 9

so than there are

1/x^(-1/2) = x^(-(-1/2))

so what will result now ?

Answer 10

would it be x^1/2?

Answer 11

yes what mean sqrtx

yes ?

Answer 12

do you understand it now ?

Answer 13

kinda, how do i solve it in simplest radical form though?

Answer 14

simplest radical form will be sqrtx

Answer 15

oh, ok
thank you

Answer 16

np

was my pleasure - anytime - good luck

bye
