Start by distributing the exponent to each of the terms in
. This will become
, and
. Now, the expression is:
.
We can now simplify the bottom to read:
because when multiplying variables raised to an exponent, we add the exponents. The expression now looks like:

The 2/8 simplifies to 1/4:

Now, we have two u terms on the top and bottom. When dividing variables raised to an exponent, we subtract the exponents. However, since 3-5=-2, the term will be on the bottom to avoid the negative exponent. The final answer is:

Hope this makes sense!!
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = root under 5/2
so it is real and irrational number
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1/9
(1*4) / (9*4) = 4/36
(1*4) / (9*4) = 5/45
The first one is the ratio as it is stated in the problem.
The second one multiplies top and bottom by 4
The third one multiplies top and bottom of the top ratio by 5.
The answer is kindly 21 (100% correct)
