X^a/b is  \sqrt[b]{x^a} . The way I memorise that is x^1/3 is the cubic root of x. Do you get it? In that case, x is raised to a power of 1 and the cubic root is practically has a power of 3.
In your example, 

\sqrt[ \frac{3}{2} ]{16 x^4} is practically square rooting each term then cubing them individually. Remember when square-rooting any index you halve it. I'll elaborate:

\sqrt{x^4} = x^{2}
\sqrt{16} = 4
Then cube each,
4^3 = 64 
and ( x^{2} )^3 = x^{6}

As for the 2nd part: you must use the rules of indices.
x^{a}  *  x^{b} =  x^{a+b}
So breaking the question up:

3 * 3 = 9
x^{ \frac{1}{2} } stays as is since the 2nd term does not contain x
now: 
y^{ \frac{4}{3} }  * y^{1} =  y^{ \frac{4}{3} + 1 }  =  y^{ \frac{4}{3} +  \frac{3}{3} }  =   y^{ \frac{7}{3} }
This makes your final answer look like this:
9 x^{ \frac{1}{2} }  y^{ \frac{7}{3} }

I hope that helped and good luck in your test!

Neko [114]

Answer:

So the vaule of y is 7, 10 & 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y = 3x+1 . So we can just substitute x-value into the equation :

Let x=2,

y = 3(2)+1

= 7

Let x=3,

y = 3(3)+1

= 10

Let x=4,

y = 3(4)+1

= 13

Inga [223]

we know that

the car gets 18 miles per -----------> 1 gallon of gasoline

so

for 543 miles ---------------------> x gallons of gasoline


by proportion

543/18=x/1---------->x=543/18------->x=30.17 gallons


therefore


the answer is

30.17 gallons
