What is 26/48 simplest form

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

13/14

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF between 26 and 48 is 2. So divide 26/2=12 and 48/2=13 13/14. And after that you can not simplify anymore so 13/14 is 26/48 in it's simplest form.

Hope it helps!

Could someone help me, please?

We can rewrite the expression under the radical as

$\dfrac{81}{16}a^8b^{12}c^{16}=\left(\dfrac32a^2b^3c^4\right)^4$

then taking the fourth root, we get

$\sqrt[4]{\left(\dfrac32a^2b^3c^4\right)^4}=\left|\dfrac32a^2b^3c^4\right|$

Why the absolute value? It's for the same reason that

$\sqrt{x^2}=|x|$

since both $(-x)^2$ and $x^2$ return the same number $x^2$ , and $|x|$ captures both possibilities. From here, we have

The absolute values disappear on all but the $b$ term because all of $\dfrac32$ , $a^2$ and $c^4$ are positive, while $b^3$ could potentially be negative. So we end up with
