Question

Rewrite in simplest rational exponent form √x • 4√x. Show each step of your process.

Answer 1

sqrtx*4sqrtx = x^(1/2) *4*x^(1/2) = 4*x^((1/2)+(1/2)) = 4*x^(2/2) = 4x

Answer 2

How exactly do I read that?

Answer 3

since you can multiply in any order, imagine 4 • (√x • √x)
(√x • √x) = x
so = 4x
