Question 161659: I must decide if the algebraic manipulation is correct or incorrect. if it is incorrect I need to fix it or explaine why it cannot be simplified.I don't know if this is the right spot to post but if you can help that would be great.
16^(exponet is a fraction)3/2= (16^1/2)^3 (exponent in () is a fraction)= 4^3= 64

-----------------
16%5E%283%2F2%29+=+%2816%5E%281%2F2%29%29%5E3 ???
Those are the same, and they equal 64.
