ILL MEDAL! I need help figuring out 1 3 and 6 I've tried doing it on my own but i'm not doing it right can someone please help me?

OpenStudy (adrianna.gongora):

OpenStudy (phi):

you can change the "root" to an exponent 1/root for example a square root becomes ½

OpenStudy (phi):

example \[ \sqrt[3]{stuff}= (stuff)^\frac{1}{3} \]

OpenStudy (adrianna.gongora):

so just eliminate the square root but multiplying it by 1/2

OpenStudy (phi):

you replace the square root sign, and use an exponent of ½ in the first question, it's a ⅛ root (notice the small 8 in front of the root sign) so take away the root (and the 8) and put a tiny ⅛ in the upper right.

OpenStudy (jeansweets):

1. x 5/8

OpenStudy (phi):

you should get \[ (x^5)^\frac{1}{8} \] which you can simplify by using a different rule: multiply the two exponents

OpenStudy (adrianna.gongora):

\[\sqrt[8]{x ^{5}} (\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }) = ? \] i'm lost after that

OpenStudy (phi):

you replace the square root sign, and use an exponent of ½ in the first question, it's a ⅛ root (notice the small 8 in front of the root sign) so take away the root (and the 8) and put a tiny ⅛ in the upper right.

OpenStudy (phi):

no, you are on the wrong track.

OpenStudy (jeansweets):
