a) (9)^1/2 x 4^2/24
according to the way you typed it...
= 3 x 16/24
= 2
b) you probably meant
16 x 2^(x+2)
= 2^4 x 2^(x+2) = 2^(x+6)
3 sqrt x^1/4 sqrt x/ 5 sqrt x^2
- the order of operation is too ambiguous , use brackets to make it clear.
c) 3^-8/3^-6 x 3^-5
= (3^-8)/(3^-6) * (3^-5)
= 3^(-8 + 6 - 5)
= 3^-7
or
1/3^7
(4^-2 x 2^-4)^-1
= 4^2 * 2^4
= 16(16) = 256
notice we use * or brackets for multiplication and
we use / for รท
