The answer is D.

When something is set to a fraction of a power, it makes the base a square root. And since 81 is going to the power of 1/2 it is just squaring it. The square root of 81 is 9.

Next, anything to a negative power turns the base number into a fraction, so 3^-1 turns into 1/3^1 or 1/3.

Finally, you solve: 9/ 1/3. Fractions take the reciprocal of themselves when they are being divided so the equation is more like 9*3. And 9*3 is 27. So the answer is D, 27.

Hope this helps!

Are these correct? If not please help me write the correct answer.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Mostly correct

For Q3, you are doing great, you remembered that negative numbers can happen if the exponent is an odd number.

For Q4, I think you were confused with the fractions,

4(i)

$(\frac{2}{3} )^{4} = (\frac{2^{4}}{3^{4}}) = (\frac{16}{81}) =0.198$

4(ii) is also wrong but I'll let you try to fix it yourself following what I given you for 4(i). You should get 1/64

Hope this helps!

What is the simplified value of the exponential expression 64 1/4

katrin [286]

$\bf a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies \sqrt[ m]{a^ n} 
\qquad \qquad
\sqrt[ m]{a^ n}\implies a^{\frac{ n}{ m}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
64^{\frac{1}{4}}\qquad \boxed{64=2^6}\qquad (2^6)^{\frac{1}{4}}\implies 2^{6\cdot \frac{1}{4}}\implies 2^{\frac{6}{4}}\implies 2^{\frac{3}{2}}
\\\\\\
\sqrt[2]{2^3}\implies \sqrt{2^{2+1}}\implies \sqrt{2^2\cdot 2^1}\implies 2\sqrt{2}$
