Question 10282: Express your answer so that only positive exponents occur. Assume that the variables are positive.
X3/4 x1/3 x-1/2 (all the fractions are powers to the x's)

(16x2y-1/3)3/4 (all the fractions are powers to the x's)

Could you please help me with the solutions to these problems. Thanks!

with variables multiplied together, you add their powers, so:
x%5E%283%2F4%29+x%5E%281%2F3%29+x%5E%28-1%2F2%29 becomes x%5E%287%2F12%29

%2816x%5E2y%5E%28-1%2F3%29%29%5E%283%2F4%29
16%5E%283%2F4%29%28x%5E2%29%5E%283%2F4%29%28y%5E%28-1%2F3%29%29%5E%283%2F4%29
%2816%5E%281%2F4%29%29%5E3%28x%5E2%29%5E%283%2F4%29%28y%5E%28-1%2F3%29%29%5E%283%2F4%29
2%5E3%2Ax%5E%286%2F4%29%2Ay%5E%28-1%2F4%29
8%2Ax%5E%283%2F2%29%2Ay%5E%28-1%2F4%29
%288%2Ax%5E%283%2F2%29%29%2F%28y%5E%281%2F4%29%29
