Q. The expression 473⋅37 is equivalent to712137414912134941
Rewrite using Exponent Notation: We are given the expression 473⋅37 and we need to simplify it. The fourth root of 73 can be written as 743, and the cube root of 7 can be written as 731. So, we rewrite the expression using exponent notation.
Add Exponents with Same Base: Now we have 743×731. To multiply two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents. So, we add 43 and 31.
Find Common Denominator: To add the fractions43 and 31, we need a common denominator. The least common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12. We convert each fraction to have a denominator of 12: (43)(1212)=129 and (31)(1212)=124.
Combine Exponents: Now we add the two fractions: 129+124=1213. So, the combined exponent for 7 is 1213. We write the simplified expression as 71213.
Check Answer Choices: We check the answer choices to see which one matches our simplified expression. The correct answer is 7(13/12).
