Q. Select the expression that is equivalent to (2x)−31132x132x(2x)3(2x)31
Understand Expression: Understand the given expression.We have the expression (2x)−311. This is a fraction with a negative exponent in the denominator.
Apply Negative Exponent Rule: Apply the negative exponent rule.The negative exponent rule states that a−n=an1. We can apply this rule to move the term with the negative exponent from the denominator to the numerator.(2x)−311=(2x)31
Recognize Exponent Meaning: Recognize the meaning of the exponent (1/3).The exponent (1/3) is equivalent to the cube root. Therefore, (2x)(1/3) is the same as the cube root of 2x.(2x)(1/3)=32x
Compare with Options: Compare the result with the given options.The expression we have found, 32x, matches one of the given options.
