Q. Rewrite the expression in the form k⋅xn.Write the exponent as an integer, fraction, or an exact decimal (not a mixed number).(16x3)41=□
Simplify inside the parentheses: First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses before applying the outer exponent. The expression inside the parentheses is 16x3. The square root of x3 can be written as x23.
Rewrite expression without radicals: Now, we can rewrite the expression as 16×x23. Since there are no square roots or other radicals left inside the parentheses, we can now apply the outer exponent of 41 to both the constant and the variable.
Apply exponent to constant and variable: Applying the exponent of 41 to 16, we get 1641. The fourth root of 16 is 2, because 24=16.
Calculate exponent of constant: Applying the exponent of 41 to x23, we use the rule of exponents that states (xa)b=xa∗b. So, x23∗41=x83.
Combine results for final expression: Combining the results from the previous steps, we get the final expression in the form k∗xn, which is 2∗x83.
