Answer: Choice A

$\sqrt[4]{3^3}$

The fourth root of 3^3

=============================================

Explanation:

The exponent of 1/4 means "fourth root", so,

$3^{1/4} = \sqrt[4]{3}$

The outer exponent 3 can be moved inward like this

$\left(3^{1/4}\right)^3 = 3^{1/4*3} = 3^{3/4}$

Then we can use the rule

$x^{m/n} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}$

This means

$3^{3/4} = \sqrt[4]{3^3}$

Expand the logs and show work

Here’s what I’ve done.
I’m not too sure what was meant by expanding?
What I’ve found is what power you need to get the number that’s being logged.

The last question uses a, because the question uses x.

The working I’ve done should be self-explanatory.

Find the value of y.

bezimeni [28]

We know that the shortest leg of the largest right triangle (hypotenuse length 16) has a length of the square root of (y^2 + 16) through the pythagoras theorem. We also know that x is equal to the square root of (144 + y^2) as well. Finally, we know that 256 = (y^2 + 16) + (y^2 + 144), since we use the pythagoras theorem one last time and square each of the values we have got for the two legs of the largest right triangle. Therefore, 256 = 2y^2 + 160, 96 = 2y^2, 48 = y^2, y= sqrt48 = 4sqrt3 = $4\sqrt{3}$ .
