Question

Using the exponent properties, which of the following expressions is equivalent to (V2)% 2-1? (1 point)
022
0 V2
021
02.

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((V2)^{2-1}\), we start by rewriting it:

1. \((V2)^{2-1}\) simplifies to \((V2)^{1}\).

Thus, \((V2)^{1} = V2\).

Now, let's examine the options given:

1. \(022\)
2. \(0 V2\) (which seems like a typo; you might mean \(0 \cdot V2\) or just \(V2\))
3. \(021\)
4. \(02\)

The expression simplifies to \(V2\), which suggests that the correct option would align with this simplest form of the expression rather than the other numbered forms.

If \(0 V2\) is interpreted correctly as just \(V2\) (without any unruly multiplication interpretation), then that would be the equivalent expression.

So, the equivalent expression to \((V2)^{2-1}\) is **\(0 V2\)** (if that is accepted as \(V2\)).
