SmokeyBrown:

The first expression, \[\sqrt[4]{x ^{3}}\] is the same as x^(3/4) The second expression, \[\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{-1} }\] is the same as x^(-1*-1), which is the same as x The third expression, \[\sqrt[4]{x ^{5}*x ^{4}*x ^{2}}\] is the same as x^[(5+4+2)/10] The fourth expression, \[x ^{1/3}*x ^{1/3}*x ^{1/3}\] is the same as x^(1/3+1/3+1/3), which is the same as x So, which of the choices are equivalent?

kekeman:

B and D are equivalent but i need a step by step breaking down of how you get x for the second expression pls

SmokeyBrown:

Ok, no problem. For the second expression \[\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{-1} }\] \[ x ^{-1} \] is equivalent to \[\frac{ 1 }{ x }\] This is a rule of exponents. So, \[\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{-1} }\] can also be written as \[\frac{ 1 }{ 1/x}\] and 1/(1/x) is the same as x

kekeman:

Ok thank you
