Question: 279
13. What is the value of ?
- A. 8x6
- B. 8x18
- C. 32x6
- D. 32x18
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B
First take the square root of 64: 8. For the variable, you must use the rules of exponents. If the bases are the same, add the exponents when you multiply the terms. The term x36 represents a base of x that was squared, i.e., multiplied by itself. Thus the two exponents added were the same value and produced a sum of 36. (x18)(x18) = x36.
To find the square root, divide the exponent in half. = x18.
