Full solution

Q. in simplest radical form.\newlinex2x9 x^{2} \sqrt{x^{9}}
  1. Understand and Identify Properties: Understand the expression and identify the properties of exponents and radicals that can be used.\newlineWe have x2×x9x^{2} \times \sqrt{x^{9}}. The square root of x9x^{9} can be expressed as (x9)12(x^{9})^{\frac{1}{2}}. According to the properties of exponents, when we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
  2. Apply Exponent Rule: Apply the exponent rule to the square root of x9x^{9}. \newline(x9)12=x92(x^{9})^{\frac{1}{2}} = x^{\frac{9}{2}}\newlineNow we have x2x92x^{2} \cdot x^{\frac{9}{2}}.
  3. Combine Exponents: Combine the exponents using the property of exponents that states when we multiply like bases, we add the exponents.\newlinex2×x92=x2+92=x42+92=x132x^{2} \times x^{\frac{9}{2}} = x^{2 + \frac{9}{2}} = x^{\frac{4}{2} + \frac{9}{2}} = x^{\frac{13}{2}}
  4. Simplify to Simplest Form: Simplify the expression to its simplest radical form.\newlineThe simplest radical form of x132x^{\frac{13}{2}} is x6xx^{6} \cdot \sqrt{x}, because x132x^{\frac{13}{2}} can be split into x122x12x^{\frac{12}{2}} \cdot x^{\frac{1}{2}}, which simplifies to x6xx^{6} \cdot \sqrt{x}.
