The rules of exponents tell you ...
... (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c) . . . . . . applies inside parentheses
... (a^b)^c = a^(b·c) . . . . . . . . applies to the overall expression
The Order of Operations tells you to evaluate inside parentheses first. Doing that, you have ...
... x^(4/3)·x^(2/3) = x^((4+2)/3) = x^2
Now, you have ...
... (x^2)^(1/3)
and the rule of exponents tells you to multiply the exponents.
... = x^(2·1/3) = x^(2/3)

Required
Find x
To do this, we have:
--- similar triangles
So, we have the following equivalent ratios
Where:
Substitute these in the above equation
Express as fraction
Cross multiply
Open bracket
Rewrite as:
Expand
Factorize
Factor out x + 284
Split
Solve for x
x can't be negative;
So:
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Polynomial Remainder Theorem. The PRT states that if we have a polynomial being divided by a factor in the form of
, then the remainder of the polynomial is given by
.
We have the polynomial:
And it is being divided by:
We can rewrite our factor as:
Therefore:
Then our remainder will be:
Evaluate:
So, our remainder will be 8.
