Question 3. Simplify the following in four steps.

Answer 1

Answer:

X ¹/₅

Step-by-step explanation:

X ⁷/₁₀

X ¹/₂

apply the exponent rule:

= X ⁷/₁₀ - ¹/₂

= X ¹/₅

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{x {}^{7} }{10} \div x {}^{ \frac{1}{2} }$

$= \frac{x {}^{7} }{10} \times \frac{1}{x {}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }$

$= \frac{x {}^{ \frac{13}{2} } }{10}$

$= \frac{ \sqrt{x {}^{13} } }{10}$

$= \frac{x {}^{6} \sqrt{x} }{10}$
