SOLUTION: My problem is: 3p^3/2 + 9p^1/2 + 6p^-1/2 I think you add the exponents 3/2+1/2-1/2 which equals 3/2 Then add 3p + 9p + 6p which equals 18p

Question 52524: My problem is: 3p^3/2 + 9p^1/2 + 6p^-1/2
I think you add the exponents 3/2+1/2-1/2 which equals 3/2
Then add 3p + 9p + 6p which equals 18p
18p^3/2 = sq root of 18p raised to the 3rd power
I broke it down to(3*sq root of 2) raised to the 3rd power. I hope i am typing this right. Please help from here.
Thanks Stacie

You haven't said what you want to do with this but I assume that you have simplify it, right?
Simplify:
3p%5E%283%2F2%29+%2B+9p%5E%281%2F2%29+%2B+6p%5E%28-1%2F2%29 You can factor out 3p%5E%28-1%2F2%29
%283p%5E%28-1%2F2%29%29%28p%5E2+%2B+3p+%2B+2%29 You can simplify this.
%283%28p%5E2+%2B+3p+%2B+2%29%29%2Fp%5E%281%2F2%29 Finally, you can factor the numerator.
%283%28p%2B1%29%28p%2B2%29%29%2Fp%5E%281%2F2%29
