Q. Select the expression that is equivalent to (2x2+2)231(2x2+2)31(2x2+2)33(2x2+2)23(2x2+2)21
Simplify Expression: We need to simplify the given expression (1)/((2x2+2)(3)/(2)) to match one of the provided options.
Understand Exponent: First, let's understand the exponent (3/2). It means that we have a square root and a cube. The square root is the 1/2 part, and the cube is the 3 part. So, (2x2+2)(3/2) is the same as taking the square root of (2x2+2) and then cubing the result.
Rewrite Expression: The expression (1)/((2x2+2)(3)/(2)) can be rewritten as (1)/(2x2+2)3 because taking the square root and then cubing is the same as raising to the power of 3/2.
Compare with Options: Now let's compare the rewritten expression with the provided options. The first option is exactly the same as our rewritten expression: (1)/((2x2+2)3).
Option 1: The second option, (2x2+2)3, is not equivalent because it does not have the reciprocal (1/) part.
Option 2: The third option, 3(2x2+2)2, is not equivalent because it represents the cube root of the quantity (2x2+2)2, which is not the same as our expression.
Option 3: The fourth option, (1)/(3(2x2+2)2), is not equivalent because it represents the reciprocal of the cube root of the quantity (2x2+2)2, which is different from the cube of the square root in our expression.
