Q. Evaluate the left hand side to find the value of a in the equation in simplest form.(x2)61=xaAnswer:
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule for exponents, which states that x^m)^n = x^{m*n}\, to the left hand side of the equation.\(x^{\(2\)})^{\frac{\(1\)}{\(6\)}} = x^{\(2\)*\frac{\(1\)}{\(6\)}}\
Simplify exponents: Multiply the exponents to simplify the expression. \(2 \times \left(\frac{1}{6}\right) = \frac{2}{6}
Reduce fraction: Reduce the fraction62 to its simplest form.62=31
Write simplified expression: Write the simplified expression for the left hand side of the equation. x62=x31
Equate exponents: Since the bases are the same and the equation is of the form xm=xn, we can equate the exponents.62=a
Substitute fraction: Substitute the simplified fraction for a.a=31
