Q. Select the equivalent expression.(t−2t6)1414t717t417t44t7
Simplify Exponents in Parentheses: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses by adding the exponents of t. When dividing powers with the same base, subtract the exponents: ta/tb=ta−b. So, (t6)/(t−2)=t6−(−2)=t6+2=t8.
Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent (1/14) to the simplified base t8. Now we have (t8)(1)/(14). When raising a power to a power, multiply the exponents: (ta)b=ta∗b. So, (t8)(1)/(14)=t8∗(1/14)=t8/14=t4/7.
Convert to Radical Expression: Convert the exponent to a radical expression.The expression t74 can be written as the 7th root of t raised to the 4th power, which is 7t4.
