simplify (-16)^{1/4}

Solution

simplify

(- 16)^{\frac{1}{4}}

Solution

2 (- 1)^{\frac{1}{4}}

Solution steps

(- 16)^{\frac{1}{4}}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{\frac{m}{n}} = (- 1)^{\frac{m}{n}} (a)^{\frac{m}{n}}

(- 16)^{\frac{1}{4}} = (- 1)^{\frac{1}{4}} \cdot 1 6^{\frac{1}{4}}

= (- 1)^{\frac{1}{4}} \cdot 1 6^{\frac{1}{4}}

1 6^{\frac{1}{4}} = 2

= 2 (- 1)^{\frac{1}{4}}

Popular Examples

- 20 = 2 (x - 9)

factor (x-4)^{7/2}-16(x-4)^{3/2}factor

(x - 4)^{\frac{7}{2}} - 16 (x - 4)^{\frac{3}{2}}

∣ - 3 x + 2 ∣ = x + 6

89 x^{2} + 38 x - 45 = 0
