Question

Simplify the expression. Use ^ before exponents and parenthesis around fractional exponents: x to the one-half power would be written x^(1/2).

(81/2 • 51/3)2 =

Answer 1

Explanation:

`(8 {}^{ (1)/(2) } * 5 {}^{ (1)/(3) } ) {}^(2) = 8 {}^{ (1)/(2) * 2 } * 5 {}^{ (1)/(3) * 2}`

`= 8 * 5 {}^{ (2)/(3) }`

So we get

8*5^(2/3))
