The equivalent expression of (8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 is 1/12x
The expression is given as:
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3
Evaluate the exponent 8^-2/3
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/4(x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3
Evaluate the exponent (27x)^-1/3
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/4(x)^-2/3 * 1/3(x)^-1/3
Multiply 1/4 and 1/3
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/12(x)^-2/3 * (x)^-1/3
Evaluate the exponent
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/12(x)^(-2/3 -1/3)
This gives
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/12(x)^(-1)
So, we have
(8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 = 1/12x
Hence, the equivalent expression of (8x)^-2/3 * (27x)^-1/3 is 1/12x
