Question

Use properties of exponents to rewrite the following expressions as a number or an exponential expression with

only one exponent.
[(2)^√3]^√3.

Answer 1

[(2)^√3]^√3 = 8

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the expression:

[(2)^√3]^√3

Now, let´s write the square roots as fractional exponents (√3 = 3^1/2):

[(2)^(3^1/2)]^(3^1/2)

Let´s apply the following exponents property: (xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ and multiply the exponents:

(2)^(3^1/2 · 3^1/2)

Apply the following property of exponents: xᵃ · xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

(2)^(3^(1/2 + 1/2)) =2^3¹ = 2³ = 8

Then the expression can be written as:

[(2)^√3]^√3 = 8

Have a nice day!
