(1728)-(2/3)
Options.
A. 1/144
B. 144
C. -1/144
D. 1/12
Cube root of 1728 is 12.
Therefore,(12)–3(2/3)
Now, (an)m = an*m
(12) – 3 × (2/3) = 12–2
We know that, a-n = 1/an
Therefore, 12–2 = 1/12² = 1/144
If (p/q)x-1 = (q/p)x-3
Options.
A. 3
B. 2
C. 1
D. -2
(p/q)x-1 = (q/p)x-3
(p/q)x-1 = (p/q)-(x-3)
(p/q)x-1 = (p/q)3-x
x-1 = 3-x
x = 2
