What is the square root of m^6?

Answer:
If m is nonnegative (ie not allowed to be negative), then the answer is m^3
If m is allowed to be negative, then the answer is either |m^3| or |m|^3

==============================

Explanation:

There are two ways to get this answer. The quickest is to simply divide the exponent 6 by 2 to get 6/2 = 3. This value of 3 is the final exponent over the base m. Why do we divide by 2? Because the square root is the same as having an exponent of 1/2 = 0.5, so
sqrt(m^6) = (m^6)^(1/2) = m^(6*1/2) = m^(6/2) = m^3
This assumes that m is nonnegative. 

---------------------------

A slightly longer method is to break up the square root into factors of m^2 each and then apply the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x, where x is nonnegative

sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2*m^2*m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = m*m*m
sqrt(m^6) = m^3
where m is nonnegative

------------------------------

If we allow m to be negative, then the final result would be either |m^3| or |m|^3. 

The reason for the absolute value is to ensure that the expression m^3 is nonnegative. Keep in mind that m^6 is always nonnegative, so sqrt(m^6) is also always nonnegative. In order for sqrt(m^6) = m^3 to be true, the right side must be nonnegative.

Example: Let's say m = -2
m^6 = (-2)^6 = 64
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(64) = 8
m^3 = (-2)^3 = -8
Without the absolute value, sqrt(m^6) = m^3 is false when m = -2

Anita can clean a typical pool in 8 hours. Chao can clean a typical pool in 6 hours. How long should it take Anita and Chao work
Snezhnost [94]
This kind of problems requires to add the working velocities. The total velocity is the sum of the individual velocities.

Anita's velocity = 1 pool/8 hours
Chao's velocity = 1 pool/6 hours

Combined velocity 1/8 + 1/6 = (3 + 4)/24 = 7/24 pool/hour

Time = 1 pool / (7/24) pool/hour = 24/7 hour =3.43 hours

Answer:

  • x = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>In order to find the vertical asymptotes make the denominator equal to zero and solve:</u>

  • 2x + 18 = 0
  • 2x = - 18
  • x = - 9

There is one vertical asymptote since the denominator is linear expression
