Q. 661⋅265⋅367Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) 633(B) 2365⋅3367(C) 3621635(D) 3613
Combine terms with same base: Combine the terms with the same base.We notice that 6 can be written as 2×3, so we can combine the terms with the base of 2 and 3.6(1/6)×2(5/6)×3(7/6)=(2×3)(1/6)×2(5/6)×3(7/6)
Apply exponent to factors: Apply the exponent to the factors of 6. (2×3)61=261×361Now we have all terms with base 2 and 3, and we can combine them.
Combine exponents for base terms: Combine the exponents for the base 2 and base 3 terms.2(1)/(6)×2(5)/(6)=2(1)/(6)+(5)/(6)=21=23(1)/(6)×3(7)/(6)=3(1)/(6)+(7)/(6)=3(8)/(6)=34/3
Multiply simplified terms: Multiply the simplified terms. 2×334=2×334=2×381
Simplify cube root: Simplify the cube root. 381=341/3=34/3=31∗4/3=34/3=3×3=9
Multiply remaining terms: Multiply the remaining terms. 2×9=18
Check answer choices: Check the answer choices to see which one is equivalent to 18. (A) 633 is not 18. (B) 2365×3367 is not 18. (C) 3621635 is not 18. (D) 3613 is not 18. None of the answer choices are equivalent to 18, which means there might be a mistake in our calculations.
