Question

Evaluate the left hand side to find the value of aa in the equation in simplest form. 3

Answer 1

Given

The expression is given as

`x^{(5)/(6)}x^2=x^a`

Step-by-step explanation

To find the value of a , simplify the expression.

`\begin{gathered} x^{(5)/(6)+2}=x^a \\ x^{(5+12)/(6)}=x^a \\ x^{(17)/(6)}=x^a \end{gathered}`

Using the exponent property.

`a=(17)/(6)`

Answer

Hence the value of a is

`a=(17)/(6)`
