Assuming that x, y, z are positive real numbers, simplify each of the following:(i) \((\sqrt{x}^{-3})^5\)(ii) \(\sqrt{x^3y^{-2}}\)(iii) \((x^{-2/3}y^{-1/2})^2\)(iii) \((\sqrt{x})^{\frac{-2}{3}}\sqrt{y}^4+\sqrt{x}{y}\frac{-1}{2}\)(v) \(\sqrt[5]{243}x^{10}y^{5}z^{10}\)(vi) \((\frac{{x}^{-4}}{{y}^{-10}})^{\frac{5}{4}}\) |

Answer» (i) \((\frac{\sqrt1}{\sqrt3})^5\) = (1 / x3/2) 5 = (1 / x 3/2 × 5) = (1 / x 15/2) (ii) \((\sqrt3^3/\sqrt{y}^2)\) = (x3 / y2) 1/2 = x3 × 1/2 / y2 × 1/2 = x3/2 / y (iii) 1 / (x2/3 y1/2) 2 = 1 / (x2/3 × 2 y1/2 × 2) = 1 / x4/3 y (iv) (x1/2) -2/3 (y)2 / (xy-1/2) 1/2 = x-1/3y 2 / (x1/2y -1/2×1/2) = (x-5/6) (y9/4) = (y9/4) / (x5/6) (v) (243x10 y5 z10) 1/5 = (35) 1/5 x2yz2 = 3x2yz2 (vi) (y10 / x4) 5/4 = y 10 × 5/4 / x4 × 5/4 = y25/2 / x5 |
