Solve the following exercise:
In order to simplify the given expression, we will use two laws of exponents:
a. Root definition as an exponent:
b. Law of exponents for multiplication between terms with identical bases:
Let's start by converting the roots to exponents using the law mentioned in a':
We'll continue, since we are multiplying two terms with identical bases - we'll use the law of exponents mentioned in b':
Therefore, the correct answer is answer b'.
\( (4^2)^3+(g^3)^4= \)
Because you have cube roots, not the numbers themselves! means "what number cubed equals 5?" which is about 1.7, not 5.
Think of it as "same base, add powers" - just like . Here it's !
It means "the cube root of 5 squared" or . The denominator (3) tells you the root, the numerator (2) tells you the power!
Technically yes, but it's much harder! Using the rule gets messy. Fractional exponents make cube root problems much cleaner.
Try multiplying - you should get . This confirms that is indeed squared!
