Explanation:

A).


(2)/( √(x) )

Using the rules of indices


√(x) = {x}^{ (1)/(2) }

So we have


\frac{2}{ {x}^{ (1)/(2) } }

And also by the rules of indices


\frac{1}{ {a}^(b) } = {a}^( - b)

Applying the rules to the above expression we have the final answer as


2 {x}^{ - (1)/(2) }

B).


\frac{3}{ {x}^(2) }

By using the rules of indices


\frac{1}{ {a}^(b) } = {a}^( - b)

Applying the rules to the above expression

We have the final answer as


3 {x}^( - 2)

Hope this helps you
