Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks you to rewrite the expression in the form , where is a constant and is a rational number.
Let's solve this step by step:
-
Recall that and . So the expression becomes:
-
When multiplying powers of the same base, we add the exponents:
-
To add these fractions, find a common denominator:
-
So the expression becomes:
Since there is no constant other than 1, the expression in the form is:
