Simplify the expression by using the properties of rational exponents. Write the final answer using positive exponents only.

None of those are technically correct. 9.7 x 104 is actually 1,008.8, but if that answer was a choice, it would be that one. if you meant 9.7 times maybe a thousand or more or divided by 10 or more, than the answer choices would be correct, but other than that, they actually arent.

1.   an exact solution requires a radical solution - no decimal approximation.2. (a)4x^3 = 756x^3 = 756/4 = 189x =   cube root of 189 =   5.74   to nearest hundredth answer(b)   189 = 3*3*3*7   so we can write the cube root of 189 as 3∛7 answerchecking (a) 4*(5.74^3 =   756.48   which is very close(b)   4* ((3∛3)^3   = 4*189   = 756   - spot on! 3. i would use solution b because the original question asked for an exact solution.
