Q. Select the equivalent expression.6k4k6k−31k−3k3k31
Simplify Inside Sixth Root: Simplify the expression inside the sixth root.We have the expression 6k4k6. To simplify the expression inside the root, we use the property of exponents that states when dividing like bases, we subtract the exponents.So, k4k6=k6−4=k2.
Apply Sixth Root: Apply the sixth root to the simplified expression.Now we apply the sixth root to k2, which can be written as (k2)61.Using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n, we multiply the exponents.So, (k2)61=k2∗61=k62.
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent.We simplify the fraction62 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.So, k62 simplifies to k31.
