Some Property!

Algebra Level 2

Assume that x x is a positive real number. Then,

x x 3 = \large \sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}} \ =

x 1 4 x^{\frac{1}{4}} x 3 8 x^{\frac{3}{8}} x 1 6 x^{\frac{1}{6}} x 1 2 x^{\frac{1}{2}}

x x 3 = ( x x 1 / 2 ) 1 / 3 = ( x 1 + 1 / 2 ) 1 / 3 = ( x 3 / 2 ) 1 / 3 = x 1 / 2 = x \Large{\begin{aligned} \sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}&=(x\cdot x^{1/2})^{1/3}\\&=(x^{1+1/2})^{1/3}\\&=(x^{\color{#D61F06}{3}/2})^{1/\color{#D61F06}{3}}\\&=x^{1/2}=\sqrt x\end{aligned}} Make sure you know some Exponent Rules .

x x 3 \large \sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}

Simplifying the expression,

= x 3 3 \large = \ \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^3}}

Using the the rule of exponents,

= x 3 6 \large = \ \sqrt[6]{x^3}

Thus,

= x 3 6 \large = \ x^{\frac{3}{6}}

= x 1 2 \large = \ x^{\frac{1}{2}}
