Q. Given x>0, the expression 3x14 is equivalent tox43x2x53x2x43x3x53x3
Understand Given Expression: Understand the given expression and the properties of exponents.The given expression is the cube root of x to the 14th power, which is written as 3x14. We can use the property of exponents that states xba=bxa to rewrite the expression.
Break Down Exponent: Break down the exponent 14 into a multiple of 3 plus a remainder.Since we are dealing with a cube root, we want to express 14 as 3n+r, where n is an integer and r is the remainder when 14 is divided by 3.14=3×4+2, so n=4 and 30.
Rewrite Using Exponent Rule: Rewrite the expression using the exponent rule.Using the result from Step 2, we can rewrite x14 as x3×4+2, which is the same as (x3×4)×(x2).
Apply Cube Root: Apply the cube root to both parts of the expression.We can now take the cube root of both parts separately, which gives us 3x3⋅4⋅3x2.
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the cube root of x3∗4.Since the cube root and the exponent of 3∗4 are inverse operations, they cancel each other out, leaving us with x4.
Combine Simplified Parts: Combine the simplified parts of the expression.We now have x4⋅3x2, which is the simplified form of the original expression.
Check Final Expression: Check the final expression against the given options.The final expression we have is x4⋅3x2, which matches one of the given options.
