Express 15 x^1/3y^1/5 using a radical
k0ka [10]
In short, to convert two fractions to have the same denominator, we simply multiply one by the denominator of the other, so in this case, we'll multiply 1/3 by 5, top and bottom, and 1/5 by 3, top and bottom, thus

\bf a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies  \sqrt[ m]{a^ n} 
\qquad \qquad
\sqrt[ m]{a^ n}\implies a^{\frac{ n}{ m}}\\\\
-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{15x^{\frac{1}{3}}}{y^{\frac{1}{5}}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1\cdot 5}{3\cdot 5}\\
\qquad \frac{5}{15}\\\\
\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\cdot 3}{5\cdot 3}\\
\qquad \frac{3}{15}
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{15x^{\frac{5}{15}}}{y^{\frac{3}{15}}}\implies 15\cdot \cfrac{x^{\frac{5}{15}}}{y^{\frac{3}{15}}}\implies 15\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt[15]{x^5}}{\sqrt[15]{y^3}}
\\\\\\
15\sqrt[15]{\frac{x^5}{y^3}}

A farmer is building a fence to enclose a rectangular area consisting of two separate regions. The four walls and one additional
uranmaximum [27]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  58.5 ft by 39 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the two horizontal segments. Then the three vertical segments will be ...

  (234 -2x)/3

The total enclosed area is the product of these dimensions:

  A = (x)(234 -2x)/3

  A = (2/3)(x)(117 -x)

This is the equation of a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=117. The maximum of the parabola will be on the line of symmetry, halfway between these zeros. The value of x there is ...

  x = (0 +117)/2 = 58.5

The lengths of the vertical segments are ...

  (2/3)(117 -58.5) = 2/3(58.5) = 39

The dimensions of the region enclosing the maximum area are 58.5 ft by 39 ft. The additional vertical segment is 39 ft.

_____

<em>Comment on maximum area problems</em>

You may have noticed that the total length of the fence allocated to the long sides (2×58.5 = 117) is half the total length of fence and is equal to the total length of fence allocated to the short sides (3×39 = 117).

This relationship is true in all rectangular fencing problems where the area is being maximized for a given total fence length. It doesn't matter how many partitions there are in either direction: <em>the total of horizontal lengths is equal to the total of vertical lengths</em>.
