Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here are some rules you need to simplify this expression:
Distribute exponents: When you raise an exponent to another exponent, you multiply the exponents together. This includes exponents that are fractions.
Negative exponent rule: When an exponent is negative, you can make it positive by making the base a fraction. When the number is apart of a bigger fraction, you can move it to the other side (top/bottom). , and to help with this question:
.
Multiplying exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by adding their exponents together.
Dividing exponents with same base: When exponential numbers have the same base, you can combine them by subtracting the exponents.
Fractional exponents as a radical: When a number has an exponent that is a fraction, the numerator can remain the exponent, and the denominator becomes the index (example, index here ∛ is 3).
