If a= b^2/3 and b= c^3/4; what is the relation between a and c?

a=c^1/2

c=a^1/2

a=c^-1/2

c=a^-1/2

a=c

Answer: a = c^(1/2) which is the first answer choice of the list

Work Shown:

a = b^(2/3) ... given equation

a = (c^(3/4))^(2/3) ... replace b with c^(3/4)

a = c^((3/4)*(2/3)) .... multiply exponents

a = c^(1/2) .... Simplify; note the 3's cancel, also 2/4 turns into 1/2
