No. That's multiplication.

There should be a y^x or x^y button on your calculator. Use that.

Now the time has come to simplify the square root of 45a^3 b^8

 

[Zap Brannigan]

I have an x^2 button

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Oh wait I found the y^x button

 

[Zap Brannigan]

How would I go about punching in 2^3/5 ?

 

[Zap Brannigan]

I also have an a^b/c button

take each terms and sqaure root it

square root of 45 = 9
square root of a^3 = a * squareroot of a
square root of b^ 8 = b ^ 4

put them together

9ab^4 square root of a

Ok how would I go about doing this one?

 

[Zap Brannigan]

9(5) or something?

Exactly the same way as all the other ones.

(45)^1/2 a^3/2 b^4

All the problems you are posting are identical in concept, just with different values.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Ohhhhhh I see

 

[Zap Brannigan]

cubed root of 5, then what with the exponents?

This is fun! I know a ^3 is cubed root but what is a ^4 called?

Going to rewrite this next problem right off as ( a^12 b^4)^1/4

nothing its called a 4th root

Huh?

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Ohhhh I think I know

 

[Zap Brannigan]

I got cubed root of 5a b^2

 

[Zap Brannigan]

Does my answer look right. I'm pretty sure it is.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

I'm positive it is , ok on to the next problem.

No, I gave you the answer already:

45^1/2 a^3/2 b^4

Edit: Typo.

To become a Moon Warrior I must solve this, Simplify the cubed root of 24m

I think mine is right too though. I wonder if they form the same equation?

 

[Zap Brannigan]

It wants me to simplify them so I broke it down as much as I could.
