Mathematics Asked on January 6, 2021
I need to calculate the following product:
$x^{-1} cdot sqrt[3]{x} = ?$
First, I apply the rule
$sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^{frac{m}{n}}$
to convert $sqrt[3]{x}$ to $x^{frac{1}{3}}$:
$x^{-1} cdot sqrt[3]{x} = x^{-1} cdot x^{frac{1}{3}}$
Then I add the exponents:
$x^{-1} cdot sqrt[3]{x} = x^{(-frac{3}{3} + frac{1}{3})}$
$x^{-1} cdot sqrt[3]{x} = x^{-frac{2}{3}}$
I use the rule
$a^{-frac{m}{n}} = frac{1}{sqrt[n]{a^m}}$
to transform $x^{(-frac{2}{3})}$ to $frac{1}{sqrt[3]{x^2}}$.
However, if I check the solution by setting $x=1$ and calculating both sides, it turns out that it wrong.
Where exactly (in which of the above steps) did I make the error?
