Eureka Math Algebra 2 Module 3 Lesson 4 Example Answer Key
Examples 1 – 3:
Write each expression in the form \(b^{\frac{m}{n}}\) for positive real numbers b and integers m and n with n > 0 by applying the properties of radicals and the definition of th root.
Example 1.
\(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\) \(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\)
Answer:
By the definition of nth root,
\(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\) \(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\) = \(\sqrt[4]{b}\) . \(\sqrt[4]{b}\)
= \(\sqrt[4]{b \cdot b}\) By the properties of radicals and properties of exponents
= \(\sqrt[4]{b^{2}}\)
= \(b^{\frac{2}{4}}\) By the definition of \(b^{\frac{m}{n}}\)
The rational number \(b^{\frac{2}{4}}\) is equal to \(b^{\frac{1}{2}}\). Thus,
\(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\) . \(b^{\frac{1}{4}}\) = \(b^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
Example 2.
\(b^{\frac{1}{3}}\) . \(b^{\frac{4}{3}}\)
Answer:
Example 3.
\(b^{\frac{1}{5}}\) . \(b^{\frac{3}{4}}\)
Answer:
Write the exponents as equivalent fractions with the same denominator.
\(b^{\frac{1}{5}}\) . \(b^{\frac{3}{4}}\) = \(b^{\frac{4}{20}}\) . \(b^{\frac{15}{20}}\)
Rewrite in radicalform = \(\sqrt[20]{b^{4}} \cdot \sqrt[20]{b^{15}}\)
Rewrite as a single radical expression = \(\sqrt[20]{b^{4} \cdot b^{15}}\)
= \(\sqrt[20]{b^{19}}\)
Rewrite in exponent form using the definition = \(b^{\frac{19}{20}}\)
Thus,
\(b^{\frac{1}{5}}\) . \(b^{\frac{3}{4}}\) = \(b^{\frac{19}{20}}\)
Example 4.
Rewrite the radical expression \(\sqrt{48 x^{5} y^{4} z^{2}}\) so that no perfect square factors remain inside the radical.

Write each expression in form b. If a numeric expression is a rational number, then write your answer without exponents.
Exercise 1.
\(b^{\frac{2}{3}}\) . \(b^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
Answer:
\(b^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{2}}=b^{\frac{7}{6}}\)
Exercise 2.
\(\left(b^{-\frac{1}{5}}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\)
Answer:
\(b^{-\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{2}{3}}=b^{-\frac{2}{15}}\)
Exercise 3.
\(64^{\frac{1}{3}}\) . \(64^{\frac{1}{3}}\)
Answer:
\(64^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{2}}=64^{\frac{11}{6}}\)
= \((\sqrt[6]{64})^{11}\)
= 211
= 2048
Exercise 4.
\(\left(\frac{9^{3}}{4^{2}}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}\)
Answer:
\(\left(\frac{9^{3}}{4^{2}}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{9^{\frac{9}{2}}}{4^{3}}\)
= \(\frac{(\sqrt[2]{9})^{9}}{64}\)
= \(\frac{3^{9}}{64}\)
= \(\frac{19683}{64}\)
Exercise 5.
Use the definition of rational exponents and properties of exponents to rewrite each expression with rational exponents containing as few fractions as possible. Then, evaluate each resulting expression for x = 50, y = 12, and z = 3.
a. \(\sqrt{8 x^{3} y^{2}}\)
Answer:
\(\sqrt{8 x^{3} y^{2}}\) = \(2^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{\frac{3}{2}} y^{\frac{2}{2}}\)
= 2xy . \((2 x)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
Evaluating, we get 2(50) (12) (2.50)\(\frac{1}{2}\) = 100 . 12 . 10 = 12000.
b. \(\sqrt[3]{54 y^{7} z^{2}}\)
Answer:
\(\sqrt[3]{54 y^{7} z^{2}}\) = \(27^{\frac{1}{3}}\) . \(2^{\frac{1}{3}}\) . \(y^{\frac{1}{3}}\) . \(z^{\frac{1}{3}\)
= 3y2 . (2yz2)\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Evaluating, we get 3(12)2 (2 . 12 . 32)\(\frac{1}{3}\)
= 3(144)(216)\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 3 . 144 . 6 = 2592
Exercise 6.
Order these numbers from smallest to largest. Explain your reasoning.
162.5Â 93.6Â 321.2
Answer:
The number 162.5 is between 256 and 4,096. We can rewrite 162.5 = (24)2.5, which is 210, so 162.5 = 210 = 1024.
The number 321.2 is between 32 and 1,024. We can rewrite 321.2 = (25)1.2, which is 26, so 321.2 = 26 = 64.
The number 93.6 is larger than 93, so 93.6 is larger than 729.
Thus, 321.2 is clearly the smallest number, but we need to determine if 93.6 is greater than or less than 1,024. To do this, we know that 93.6 = 93 + 0.6 = 93 . 90.6 This means that 93.6 > 93 90.5, and 93 . 90.5 = 729.3, which is greater than 1,024.
Thus, the numbers in order from smallest to largest are 321.2, 162.5, and 93.6

Question 3.
Show that (√x + √y)2 is not equal to x1 + y1 when x = 9 and y = 16.
Answer:
When x = 9 and y = 16, the two expressions are (√9 + √16)2 and 9 + 16. The first expression simplifies to 49, and the second simplifies to 25. The two expressions are not equal.
Question 4.

Answer:
When x = 9 and y= 16, the two expressions are (√9 + √16)-1 and \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{9}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{16}}\). The first expression is \(\frac{1}{7^{\prime}}\) and the second one is \(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{12}\). The two expressions are not equal.

= 2\(\frac{3z}{2}\) x y\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b. \(\sqrt[5]{96 x^{3} y^{15} z^{6}}\)
Answer:
\(\sqrt[5]{96 x^{3} y^{15} z^{6}}\) = (32 . 3 . x3 . y15 .z6)\(\frac{1}{5}\)
= \(32^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot x^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot y^{\frac{15}{5}} \cdot z^{\frac{6}{5}}\)
= 2 . \(3^{\frac{1}{5}} \cdot x^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot y^{3} \cdot z^{\frac{6}{5}}\)
Question 9.
Use properties of exponents to find two integers that are upper and lower estimates of the value of 41.6.
Answer:
41.5 < 41.6 < 42
41.5 = 23 = 8 and 42 = 16, so 8 < 41.6 < 16.
Question 10.
Use properties of exponents to find two integers that are upper and lower estimates of the value of 82.3.
Answer:
82 < 82.3 < 82 + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
82 = 64 and 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 2, so 82 + \(\frac{1}{3}\) = 82 . 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) = 128. Thus, 64 < 82.3 < 128.
Question 11.
Kepler’s third law of planetary motion relates the average distance, a, of a planet from the sun to the time, t, it takes the planet to complete one full orbit around the sun according to the equation t2 = a3. When the time, t, is measured in Earth years, the distance, a, is measured in astronomical units (AU5). (One AU is equal to the average distance from Earth to the sun.)
a. Find an equation for t in terms of a and an equation for a in terms of t.
Answer:
t2 = a3
t = a\(\frac{3}{2}\)
a = t\(\frac{2}{3}\)
b. Venus takes about 0. 616 Earth year to orbit the sun. What is its average distance from the sun?
Answer:
Because a = (0.616)\(\frac{2}{3}\) ≈ 0.724, the average distance from Venus to the sun is 0.724 AU.
c. Mercury is an average distance of 0.387 AU from the sun. About how long is its orbit in Earth years?
Answer:
Because t = (0.387)\(\frac{2}{3}\) ≈ 0.241, the length of Mercury’s orbit is approximately 0.241 Earth years.

Find the exact value of \(9^{\frac{11}{10}} \cdot 9^{\frac{2}{5}}\) without using a calculator.
Answer:
\(9^{\frac{11}{10}} \cdot 9^{\frac{2}{5}}\) = \(9^{\frac{11}{10}+\frac{2}{5}}\)

Question 2.
Justify that \(\sqrt[3]{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{8}\) = √16 using the properties of exponents in at least two different ways.
Answer:
\(\sqrt[3]{8} \cdot \sqrt[3]{8}\) = 8\(\frac{2}{3}\)
= \(\left(2^{3}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\) = 22
= \(2^{\frac{4}{2}}\)
= \(\left(2^{4}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
