Q. Select the equivalent expression.21d−7⋅d1d72d27d−27d−72
Simplify Inside Radical: Simplify the expression inside the radical.We have the expression 21d−7⋅d1. First, we need to simplify the denominator by multiplying d−7 by d.Using the property of exponents that states am⋅an=am+n, we get:d−7⋅d=d−7+1=d−6.So, the expression becomes 21d−61.
Move Denominator to Numerator: Simplify the expression further by moving the denominator to the numerator.Using the property of exponents that states (1/a−n)=an, we can rewrite the expression as:21d6.
Convert to Exponent Form: Convert the radical expression to an exponent form.The 21st root of d6 can be written as d(6/21).Simplify the fraction6/21 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.d(6/21)=d(2/7).
Identify Equivalent Expression: Identify the equivalent expression from the given options.The simplified expression is d72, which matches one of the given options.
