Solve the following exercise:
Solve the following exercise:
In order to simplify the given expression, we will use two laws of exponents:
a. Root definition as an exponent:
b. Law of exponents for multiplication between terms with identical bases:
Let's start by converting the roots to exponents using the law mentioned in a.:
We'll continue, since there is multiplication between two terms with identical bases - we'll use the law of exponents mentioned in b.:
We'll continue and perform (separately) the addition of fractions in the exponent of the expression we got, this will be done by expanding each of the fractions to the common denominator - the number 6 (which is the smallest common denominator), then we'll perform the multiplication and addition operations in the fraction numerator:
In the final step, we reduced the resulting fraction,
Let's return to the problem and substitute the result of the fraction addition, meaning we get:
Let's summarize the expression simplification process:
Therefore, the correct answer is answer c.
