# 98. (-27x) 1/3
For this first expression, we need the Power of a Power Rule to multiply the exponents. The
basic form is:
(ar)s = ars
So we get:
(-27x)/3-270*1/3x91/3)
First, we look at the number and exponent in front of the variable x.
-2701-1/3) is -27(1/3) and can also be written as the cubic root: -³√(27)
We can see that the principal third root of 27 is 3, which is an odd root:
-³√(3*3*3) = -³√(3³)
Therefore, we get -3 as a result.
Then we ook at the variable x and its exponent.
X(9*1/3) = x³
Since the exponent is positive, we do not need a reciprocal of the base number and the
exponent.
If we put everything together, we get the result:
-3x³
The expression did not require us to multiply the same variables with different exponents, so
we did not need the Product Rule, and we also did not need the Power of the Product Rule
since there is only one variable. Since we did not have fractions, we also did not need the
Quotient Rule or the Power to the Quotient Rule.
#30. V(5)* √(7)
For the second expression, we multiply radicals with the same index, so we apply the Product
Rule.
We can then write the expression like this:
V(5*7) = V(35)
The expression cannot be simplified, so the result is
V35
