- EXAMPI E 7 Simplify each expression. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Write all answers using positive exponents only. a8/3a1/3 a? (a) 52/753/7 (b) (52/7)3 (c) (a2/363/2,6 (d) Strategy We will use the product, power, and quotient rules for exponents to simplify each expression. Why The familiar rules for exponents are valid for rational exponents. Solution (a) 52/753/7 = 52/7 + 3/7 Use the rule xmx" = xm + n. 2 3 5 = 55/7 Add: 7 (b) (52/7)3 = 5(2/7)(3) Use the rule (xm)" = xmn. = 56/7 Multiply: 극(3)-극(클) -윽 (c) (a2/3b1/2)6 = (a2/3)6(b1/2)6 = a12/366/2 Use the rule (xy)" = x^y^.

Solution 1 Because the exponent is negative, write the reciprocal of 64¬1/2, and change the sign of the 1 (a) 64-1/2 641/2 64 8. exponent. (b) (-16)-5/4 is not a real number because (-16)5/4 is not a real number.
