Solution
The given expression is , and we need to determine which of the provided options are equivalent to this expression.
Let's start simplifying :
Using the power of a power rule for exponents, , we have:
Now, let's evaluate the given options:
-
: Using the product of powers rule , this becomes: But is not equivalent to .
-
: This is exactly the same as , so it is correct.
-
: This is not equivalent to because it represents a smaller exponent with a reciprocal, so it is incorrect.
-
: Using the same power of a power rule: This is equivalent to , so it is correct.
Thus, the correct equivalent expressions are:
