4-123.

This problem is a checkpoint for rewriting expressions and solving equations with integer and rational exponents.  It will be referred to as Checkpoint 4.

For parts (a) through (d), rewrite each expression in an equivalent form.

1. $\sqrt [ 5 ] { x }$

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

1. $x^{2/3}$

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

For parts (e) through (i), rewrite each expression with no parentheses and with no negative exponents.  For part (j), solve for $x$.

1. $x^{-1}y^{-8}$

1. $(m^2)^{-3/2}$

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

1. $(9x^3y^6)^{-2}$

1. $\frac { ( 4 x y ^ { 2 } ) ^ { 1 / 2 } z ^ { - 3 } } { y ^ { - 1 } z ^ { 1 / 3 } }$

1. $2^{x^2}=8^{2x-3}$

Check your answers by referring to the Checkpoint 4 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 4 materials and try the practice problems provided.  From this point on, you will be expected to do problems like these correctly and with confidence.

Answers and extra practice are located in the back of your printed textbook or in the Reference tab of your eBook.
