How do you simplify expressions with rational exponents

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rainbow [258]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify expression with rational exponents can look like a huge thing when you first see them with those fractions sitting up there in the exponent but let's remember our properties for dealing with exponents. We can apply those with fractions as well.

Examples

(a)   (p^4)^{\dfrac{3}{2}}

From above, we have a power to a power, so, we can think of multiplying the exponents.

i.e.

(p^{^ {\dfrac{4}{1}}})^{\dfrac{3}{2}}

(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})

Let's recall that when we are dealing with exponents that are fractions, we can simplify them just like normal fractions.

SO;

(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})

= (p^{ 6})

Let's take a look at another example

\Bigg (27x^{^\Big{6}} \Bigg) ^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}}

Here, we apply the \dfrac{5}{3} to both 27 and x^6

= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{6}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{3}}} }\Bigg)

= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{2}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{1}}} }\Bigg)

Let us recall that in the rational exponent, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the exponent of such a particular number.

∴

= \Bigg (\sqrt[3]{27}^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)

= \Bigg (3^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)

= 249x^{10}

HELP!!! <br><br> Which function shows a fabric with a price of $1.25 per square yard?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

y=1.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that,

x represents the number of sq. yards of fabric and

y represents price of the fabric.

As the unit price of the fabric i.e cost per sq. yard of fabric is $1.25, so for each number of sq. yard of fabric, the cost for that much of fabric will be multiple of 1.25 of that number.

i.e y=1.25x

Here, the rate of change is 1.25. So for each increase in x, the amount of increase in y is 1.25

The table along with the graph have been attached below.

The formula s=12at ^2 is used to calculate the distance s travelled by a bike when a=3 and t=10, each correct to the nearest int
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the distance travelled expressed as;

s=1/2at^2

Given

a = 3

t = 10

Required

lower bound of s

Substitute the given values into the equation;

s=1/2at^2

S = 1/2(3)(10)^2

S = 1/2 * 3 * 100

S = 3 * 50

S = 150

Hence the lower bound of distance S is 150
