Answer:
(x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x^(1/2 +1/2) = x^1 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of exponents is ...
(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
From which ...
(x^a)(x^a) = x^(a+a) = x^(2a)
So, if we want two identical factors that have a product of x = x^1, then the exponents of those factors will be such that ...
x^(2a) = x^1
2a = 1
a = 1/2
The square root is defined as one of two identical factors that have a product equal to the specified value. That is ...
(√x)(√x) = x
Above, we have shown that ...
(x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x
so, we can conclude ...
√x = x^(1/2)

<em>Additional comment</em>
In like fashion, we can show that the n-th root of a number is the same as that number to the 1/n power. It's really a matter of definition. Since the square of x^(1/2) is x, we call x^(1/2) the square root. It is used commonly enough that it has its own symbol: √x.
The correct answer to this question is Choice D: y = c
This is a horizontal asymptote at y = c. The c is the constant value that is added on to the function. The first part of the equation "y=ab^x" is always going to be a positive number bigger than zero. Therefore, the graph will always be just a little bit bigger than c, it can't equal c.
Answer:
Reading bar graphs (multi-step) In a bar graph each bar represents a number. The following bar graph shows the number of seconds that different rides last at the fair. We can tell how long each ride lasts by matching the bar for that ride to the number it lines up with on the left.
Here is an example:
