9x^(3/2) in simplest radical form

Solution

To express 9x3/29x^{3/2} in simplest radical form, follow these steps:

  1. Recall that x3/2x^{3/2} can be written as a combination of square roots and powers: x3/2=x3=xx2=xx.x^{3/2} = \sqrt{x^3} = \sqrt{x \cdot x^2} = x\sqrt{x}.

  2. Now multiply by 9: 9x3/2=9xx=9xx.9x^{3/2} = 9 \cdot x\sqrt{x} = 9x\sqrt{x}.

Thus, the simplest radical form of 9x3/29x^{3/2} is: 9xx.9x\sqrt{x}.
