Question

8.3 simplify rational exponents (homework) score: 2.25/25 answered: 3/25 question 4 be sure to enclose all of the exponent when entering exponential expressions. enter 2^(b/3) as 2^(b/3): enter 3^(2b) as 3^(2 b): enter (2/3)^(b/5): enter (2/(3 + b))^(b/5):

Explanation:

Step1: Rewrite first expression

$2^{\frac{b}{3}}$ is entered as $2^(b/3)$

Step2: Rewrite second expression

$3^{2b}$ is entered as $3^(2*b)$

Step3: Rewrite third expression

$(\frac{2}{3})^{\frac{b}{5}}$ is entered as $(2/3)^(b/5)$

Step4: Rewrite fourth expression

$(\frac{2}{3 + b})^{\frac{b}{5}}$ is entered as $(2/(3 + b))^(b/5)$

Answer:

$2^(b/3)$
$3^(2*b)$
$(2/3)^(b/5)$
$(2/(3 + b))^(b/5)$
