Answer:
x = 7
y = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this question you have to know your exponent rules, but also you need to know how to add fractions.
To multiply
6^(1/3) × 6^(1/4)
you can keep the 6 and just add the exponents.
That's why the answer is set up on the form 6^(x/y)
To add fractions, you need a common denominator, it is 12.
1/3 is 4/12.
1/4 is 3/12.
So 1/3 + 1/4
is the same as:
4/12 + 3/12
= 7/12
7/12 is the exponent you are looking for.
x = 7 and y = 12.
6^(1/3) × 6^(1/4)
=6^(7/12)
