Question

Apply the power of a power property to simplify y 4/3• y 2/3 - 1/2 = y2- - 1/2 =

Answer 1

Answer:

$y^{ \frac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question posted, you've already initiated the solution but you applied a wrong approach;

Given

$y^{\frac{4}{3}} . y^{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}$

Required

Simplify; using power property

Power property states that;

$a^m.a^n = a^{m+n}$

$a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}$

By comparison; we have to apply the first property;

This is shown below;

$y^{\frac{4}{3}+\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}$

Add fraction of the same numerator

$y^{\frac{4+2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}$

$y^{\frac{6}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}$

$y^{2 - \frac{1}{2}}$

Subtract fraction

$y^{ \frac{4-1}{2}}$

$y^{ \frac{3}{2}}$

The expression $y^{\frac{4}{3}} . y^{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}$ is equivalent to $y^{ \frac{3}{2}}$
