Answer: ![\frac{\sqrt[4]{10xy^3}}{2y}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B10xy%5E3%7D%7D%7B2y%7D)
where y is positive.
The 2y in the denominator is not inside the fourth root

The idea is to get something of the form

Keep in mind that ![\sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = 2y](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%282y%29%5E4%7D%20%3D%202y)
only works if y isn't negative.
If y could be negative, then we'd have to say ![\sqrt[4]{(2y)^4} = |2y|](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%282y%29%5E4%7D%20%3D%20%7C2y%7C)
. The absolute value bars ensure the result is never negative.
Furthermore, to avoid dividing by zero, we can't have y = 0. So all of this works as long as y > 0.
Answer:
what?
Step-by-step explanation:
...............
21 times x to the fifth (where x is the ratio between values) equals 1240029
1240029/21=59049
59049^(1/5)=9
so the values are 21, 21*9, 21*9^2, 21*9^3, 21*9^4, 1240029
the sum of these values is 1395030
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
Therefore 3times the number will be 3x
3x + 2= 17
3x =17-2
3x=15
x=15/3
x= 5
Answer:
9 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you will want to add up all the time spent per problem.
3(9.5)+2(8.25)=45
Then, divide 9 from 45. 45÷5=9.
Therefore, she would have spent 9 minutes per problem.
