OpenStudy (karatechopper):

any ideas of where to start?

OpenStudy (18jonea):

not a clue :/

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ok so one of the forms of writing radicals are in exponent form so lets make one thing clear, the entire problem look like (3x)^7/13

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

when written like this 7/13 the 13 is the base of the exponent, or the radical portion and the 7 is the exponent of the expression

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

anything cleared up yet?

OpenStudy (18jonea):

so would it be b or d?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Well tell me your reasoning for why b or d

OpenStudy (18jonea):

7 on the outside of the square root symbol and 13 inside

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

ok remember, the root symbol corresponds with the denominator and the expression coordinates with the numerator

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

in this case I'm assuming the expression is (3x)

OpenStudy (18jonea):

so would the 13 be on the outside and 7 on the inside?

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

yes!

OpenStudy (18jonea):

ok so would the answer be a?

OpenStudy (18jonea):

OpenStudy (18jonea):

?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

It'd be much easier if you'd just use the equation editor to show what you have

OpenStudy (18jonea):

ok

OpenStudy (18jonea):

\[3^13\sqrt{x^7}\]

OpenStudy (18jonea):

^13that is suppose to be

Looks fine
