Rational exponents I need help ASAP!! Can someone solve and explain step by step how to do it???

a . x = 512

b. x^1/2•y•z^5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Here in this question, we want to find the value of x, given the equation.

x^2/3 = 64

Now, to find the value of x, we shall raising both powers to the reciprocal of 2/3

When we talk of reciprocal, we mean a number such that when we multiply this number by that particular number, our result is 1.

So for 2/3, the reciprocal is 3/2

So let’s raise the power of both sides to 3/2

Thus;

x^2/3(3/2) = 64^3/2

Kindly recall that 2/3(3/2) = 2/3 * 3/2 = 1

Thus ;

x = 64^3/2

So what this mean is that we will find the square root of 64 and cube our answer.

Thus;

x = {√(64)}^3

x = 8^3

x = 512

b. According to laws of indices, kindly note that

b√(a) = a^1/b

Thus;

4 √(x^2•y^4•z^5) = (x^2•y^4•z^5)^1/4

So what we do is to multiply each of the powers in the bracket by 1/4

Thus, we have the following;

x^2(1/4) • y^4(1/4) • z^5(1/4)

= x^1/2•y•z^5/4

where • simply refers to multiplication between the terms

answer: 20

step-by-step explanation: subtract the minimum date value from the maximum data value to find the date range. in this casem the date range is 42 - 22 = 20

hope this ! : ) ~zane
