Rephrasing the problem: First, let's rephrase the "Which option is equivalent to the expression (89)211+(43)217?"
Analyzing the expression and answer choices: Now, let's analyze the given expression and the answer choices. We have the expression (89)211+(43)217. We can simplify this by recognizing that 9=32 and 3=31, and similarly for the denominators where 8=23 and 4=22.
Simplifying the expression: Rewrite the expression using the base numbers 3 and 2: (2332)211+(2231)217. Now we can apply the exponent to both the numerator and the denominator separately.
Applying the exponent to the first term: Applying the exponent to the first term: ((32)(211))/((23)(211))=(32∗(211))/(23∗(211))=311/2233.
Applying the exponent to the second term: Applying the exponent to the second term: (31)(217)/(22)(217)=31∗(217)/22∗(217)=3217/217.
Combining the two terms: Combine the two terms: (311/233/2)+(317/2/217). To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which would be 217.
Getting a common denominator: To get a common denominator for the first term, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2(17−233)=221=2: (311⋅2)/217.
Comparing with answer choices: Now we have a common denominator for both terms: (311⋅2+3217)/217.
Correcting the discrepancy: Let's compare this result with the answer choices. We can see that choice (D) matches our result: (3112+383)/(217). However, there is a slight discrepancy with the second term in the numerator. We have 317/2, which is not the same as 38⋅3. We need to correct this.
