Q. Select the expression that is equivalent to 7x2117x217x217x17x1
Understand Expression: Understand the given expression.The given expression is (1)/(7x(1)/(2)). The exponent (1/2) is equivalent to the square root. Therefore, x(1)/(2) is the same as x.
Rewrite Using Square Root: Rewrite the given expression using the square root.The expression (1)/(7x(1)/(2)) can be rewritten as (1)/(7x).
Compare with Options: Compare the rewritten expression with the options.The rewritten expression (1)/(7x) matches one of the given options exactly.
Eliminate Incorrect Options: Eliminate incorrect options. (1)/(7x2) is incorrect because x2 simplifies to x, not x. (1)/(7x2) is incorrect because it implies the square root is over both 7 and x2, which is not the case in the original expression. (1)/(7x) is incorrect because it implies the square root is over both 7 and x, which is not the case in the original expression. x20 is a typographical error and should be written as x21, which is the correct expression.
