Question 85492:  Could you please help me with these problems?  
1.  assume variables are positive and multiply 
    y^6/9 ( y^-6/9 + 4y ^3/9)
 
2.  Assume x, y, z are positive #'s use properties of logarithms to write expression log 
7 sqrt x^6 y ^8 / z^7
 
3.  Find value of x: logx 121/9 = 2
 
4.  simplify (256 x^4 y) 1/4  /  (81xy^3) 3/4

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 1. assume variables are positive and multiply 
y^6/9 ( y^-6/9 + 4y ^3/9) 
 
=y^0 + 4y^1
 
=1+4y 
========================
 
2. Assume x, y, z are positive #'s use properties of logarithms to write expression log 7 sqrt(x^6 y ^8) / z^7 
Comment: Keep in mind this is all base 7. 
= log [(x^3y^4)/z^7]
 
= 3logx + 4logy - 7logz 
======================== 
  
3. Find value of x: logx 121/9 = 2 
 
x^2 = 121/9 
x = 11/3 
=============
 
 
4. simplify (256 x^4 y)^(1/4) / (81xy^3)^(3/4)
 
= 4xy^(1/4) / 27x^(3/4)y^(9/4)
 
= [4/27][x^(1/4)] / y^2
 
=[4x^(1/4)]/[27y^2]
 
================= 
Cheers,
