Answer:

1) No. 2)
√(x) 3)4x 4)
x^{(3)/(2)} or
√(x^3)5) B and D.

Explanation:

Check the pictures below

1)
x^(3) *x^(3)*x^(3)=x^(3+3+3)=x^(9)x^(3*3*3)=x^{27}[/tex]

For the first, we must just repeat the base e sum the exponents

For the second one, we must multiply the exponents.

According to the Exponents Law.


x^(m)*x^(n) =x^(m+n)\\x^(m*n) =x^(mn)

2)

Here we have three combined Exponent laws, namely:

3)

First on multiplying keep the 4 outside the square root,

4) The starting point of it is reminding that in a fraction, whenever we divide two fractions we have to operate the product of the first fraction times the inverse of the second one.

Then we apply the Exponent Law of a divison between same base powers, repeating the base subtracting the exponents, and simplifying it:


x^{(4)/(6)}=x^{(3)/(2)}

5)

Check below

b and d, are equivalent between themselves since the same quantities of x are displayed. Notice, all we have used. Exponent Laws and Power Properties
