Q. Given x>0, the expression 3x18 is equivalent tox53x2x6x63x2x5
Rewrite expression: We are given the expression 3x18 and we need to simplify it. The cube root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 31. So, we can rewrite the expression as: x1831
Apply power rule: Now we apply the power rule for exponents, which states that (am)n=am∗n. In this case, we have: x18∗31
Multiply exponents: Multiplying the exponents, we get: x318
Divide and simplify: Dividing 18 by 3, we find the simplified exponent: x6
Final expression: Since x > 0, x6 is a valid expression and there is no need for absolute value or further simplification. Therefore, the equivalent expression for 3x18 is x6.
