Q. Select the equivalent expression.15s−7⋅s2s31s−31s−3s3
Simplify Exponent Expression: Simplify the expression inside the root.We have the expression 15s−7⋅s2. To simplify the expression inside the root, we use the property of exponents that states when multiplying like bases, we add the exponents.s−7⋅s2=s−7+2=s−5
Apply Root: Apply the root to the simplified expression.Now we have 15s−5. The 15th root of s−5 can be written as s−5/15, which simplifies to s−1/3.
Match to Options: Match the simplified expression to the given options.The expression s(−1/3) matches one of the given options, which is s−(1)/(3).
