Question

Simplify. Write your answers without exponents.

Answer 1

1. 1/27 2. 1/16

Explanation:

First can be rewritten as (1/9)^(1/2 * 3) and anything to the power of 1/2 is a sqrt. So it is sqrt(1/9)^3. Then (1/3)^3 which is 1/27

Second, the negative bring the number to the bottom, 1/(32)^4/5. Then can be written as
`\sqrt[5]{1/32}`^4. 5th root of 1/32 is 1/2 then 1/2^4 is 1/16
