Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to use rules for exponents and roots to rewrite the given expression as a single power (or exponent). Let's break it down:
The expression:
[ \sqrt[3]{11^2} \cdot \sqrt[1.5]{11^7} ]
-
The cube root can be rewritten using exponents as:
-
The second term, which involves a root of , can also be rewritten using exponents. A root of 1.5 is equivalent to a fractional power:
Now, multiplying the two terms:
When multiplying powers with the same base, you add the exponents:
Thus, the expression simplifies to:
