Would i have to simplify the fraction for the exponent? I know you are supposed to simplify, but I did not know if that was the case for this one. Because if 4 was the exponent, you would not be able to put the answer as cuberoot(9^12)
cuberoot(9^12)
= (9^12)^(1/3)
= 9^4
so what is the new exponent?
= (9^12)^(1/3)
= 9^4
so what is the new exponent?
