We want to factor out the greatest common factor from the expression, 2x to the power of negative 5 halves, minus 3 halves, x -a -n -native -3 -haps.
00:10
To simplify an expression like this involving roots and exponents, we need to make sure we understand fundamentally the rules associated with these types of functions.
00:18
So i've included the most important exponent and root rules here, a through g.
00:24
Note that we don't need to use all seven to solve this problem, but for problems that are similar, we might or might need different combinations of these rules.
00:30
So noting all of them when solving the type of problem is important.
00:34
Note also rule a, which connects the root in exponential functions, such that all of these rules can be used for both exponents and roots...
