How do you simplify expressions with rational exponents

Mathematics

Rainbow [258]2 years ago

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}

Find the optimal solution for the following problem. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

x=2.125

y=0

C=19.125

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use a graphical method, we start first noticing the restrictions x\geq 0 and  y\geq 0, which restricts the solution to be in the positive quadrant. Then we plot the first restriction 8x+10y\leq 17 shown in purple, then we can plot the second one 11x+12y\leq 25 shown in the second plot in green.

The intersection of all three restrictions is plotted in white on the third plot. The intersection points are also marked.

So restrictions intersect on (0,0), (0,1.7) and (2.215,0). Replacing these coordinates on the objective function we get C=0, C=11.9, and C=19.125 respectively. So The function is maximized at (2.215,0) with C=19.125.
