Question

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

  a = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The cube root (radical) is equivalent to x^(1/3). When that is divided by x^(1/3), the result is ...

  (x^(1/3))/(x^(1/3)) = x^(1/3 -1/3) = x^0

Comparing that to x^a, we find a=0.

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  $\sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}\\\\\dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}$
