Question

Question 3. Simplify the following in four steps.

x to the power of seven-tenths divided by x to the power of one-half​

Answer 1

`\frac{x {}^(7) }{10} / x {}^{ (1)/(2) }`

`= \frac{x {}^(7) }{10} * \frac{1}{x {}^{ (1)/(2) } }`

`= \frac{x {}^{ (13)/(2) } }{10}`

`= \frac{ \sqrt{x {}^(13) } }{10}`

`= \frac{x {}^(6) √(x) }{10}`

Answer 2

X ¹/₅

Explanation:

X ⁷/₁₀

X ¹/₂

apply the exponent rule:

= X ⁷/₁₀ - ¹/₂

= X ¹/₅
