CPM Homework Help : CCA2 Problem 3-67

This problem is a checkpoint for rewriting and simplifying expressions with integral and rational exponents. It will be referred to as Checkpoint 3A.

For parts (a) through (d), rewrite each expression. For parts (e) through (h), simplify each expression.

$\sqrt [ 5 ] { x }$

$\frac { 1 } { x ^ { 3 } }$

$x^{2/3}$

$\frac { 1 } { \sqrt { x } }$

$x^{−1}y^{−8}$

$(m^2)^{−3/2}$

$(x^3y^6)^{1/2}$

$(9x^3y^6)^{−2}$

Check your answers by referring to the Checkpoint 3A materials located at the back of your book.

Ideally, at this point you are comfortable working with these types of problems and can solve them correctly. If you feel that you need more confidence when solving these types of problems, then review the Checkpoint 3A materials and try the practice problems provided.
