Question

Which answer is equivalent to 4 1/3*4 1/6?
a. 16
b .6√​16
c. 2
d. 3√​4

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$4^\frac{1}{3}\cdot4^\frac{1}{6}\\\\\text{use}\ a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\=4^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{1\cdot2}{3\cdot2}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^{\frac{2}{6}+\frac{1}{6}}=4^\frac{2+1}{6}=4^\frac{3}{6}=4^\frac{3:3}{6:3}=4^{\frac{1}{2}}\\\\\text{use}\ a^\frac{m}{n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}\\\\=\sqrt[2]{4^1}=\sqrt4=2$
