Answer:
b = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Apply the exponent rule that
In this case,
Set that equal to :
Apply the exponent rule that so now you get:
Since the base is y for both sides of the equation, just set the exponents equal to each other and solve for b.
4b = -24
divide each side by 4 to get:
b = -6
The notation in its current form isn't entirely clear.
Did you mean to write ? The 4 isn't in the square root.
If so, then the expression is in simplest form because we cannot simplify any further (note how 10 doesn't have any perfect square factors other than 1).
Also, the 3/4 portion is fully reduced already.

Or,
Did you mean to write ? This time the 4 is inside the square root.
If so, then we can simplify like this
This means that
