Q. Which expressions are equivalent to (v1)19 \left(v^{-1}\right)^{\frac{1}{9}} ?\newlineChoose all answers that apply:\newlineA (v9)1 (\sqrt[9]{v})^{-1} \newlineB (v19)1 \left(v^{\frac{1}{9}}\right)^{-1} \newlineC v19 v^{-\frac{1}{9}} \newlineD None of the above
  1. Understanding exponent properties: Understand the properties of exponents that will be used to solve the problem.\newlineThe properties of exponents that are relevant here are:\newline(am)n=a(mn)(a^m)^n = a^{(m*n)} - Raising a power to a power means you multiply the exponents.\newlinean=1ana^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} - A negative exponent means that the base is on the opposite side of the fraction line.
  2. Applying exponent property to given expression: Apply the exponent property to the given expression (v1)19(v^{-1})^{\frac{1}{9}}. Using the property (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m*n}, we get: (v1)19=v(1)(19)=v19(v^{-1})^{\frac{1}{9}} = v^{(-1)*(\frac{1}{9})} = v^{-\frac{1}{9}}
  3. Comparing the result: Compare the result from Step 22 with the given choices.\newlineWe found that (v1)19(v^{-1})^{\frac{1}{9}} simplifies to v19v^{-\frac{1}{9}}.\newlineNow we need to check which of the given choices are equivalent to this expression.
  4. Evaluating choice A: Evaluate choice A: (v9)1(\sqrt[9]{v})^{-1}. The expression (v9)1(\sqrt[9]{v})^{-1} is equivalent to (v1/9)1(v^{1/9})^{-1} because the 99th root of vv is vv raised to the 1/91/9 power. Using the property (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{m*n}, we get: (v1/9)1=v(1/9)(1)=v(1)/(9)(v^{1/9})^{-1} = v^{(1/9)*(-1)} = v^{-(1)/(9)} This matches the expression we found in Step 22.
  5. Evaluating choice B: Evaluate choice B: (v(1/9))1(v^{(1/9)})^{-1}. This is the same expression we evaluated in Step 44, and we have already determined that it is equivalent to v(1/9)v^{-(1/9)}.
  6. Evaluating choice C: Evaluate choice C: v(1)/(9)v^{-(1)/(9)}. This is exactly the expression we derived in Step 22, so it is clearly equivalent to (v1)(1)/(9)(v^{-1})^{(1)/(9)}.
  7. Evaluating choice D: Evaluate choice D: None of the above.\newlineSince we have already found that choices A, B, and C are equivalent to the original expression, choice D is not correct.
