Math Problem Statement

Bentuk sederhana dari p^(2/3) * p^(3/2) adalah

Solution

The problem in the image asks for the simplified form of the expression:

p23p32p^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot p^{\frac{3}{2}}

To simplify this, we use the rule of exponents which states that when multiplying powers with the same base, we add their exponents:

p23p32=p23+32p^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot p^{\frac{3}{2}} = p^{\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{2}}

Now, we need to add the fractions 23\frac{2}{3} and 32\frac{3}{2}. To do this, we first find a common denominator. The least common denominator between 3 and 2 is 6, so we rewrite the fractions as:

23=46,32=96\frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}, \quad \frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{6}

Now, adding them together:

46+96=136\frac{4}{6} + \frac{9}{6} = \frac{13}{6}

Thus, the simplified form of the expression is:

p136p^{\frac{13}{6}}
