10. Simplify each expression for x = 6.
a. 12xº(x^-4)
b. 14(x^-2)

answer

the correct answer is

explanation

the given function is

the excluded values are obtained by solving:

we factor to obtain:

the excluded values are

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)

a - base

b - exponent

so,
