could anyone please help and solve this for me:

(64 5/12)2

so thats (62 to the power of 5 over 12) to the power of 2

Could anyone please kindly solve this?


Question : do you put everything in the bracket to the power or 2? or just 5?

find the 12th root of 64 then put that to the power of 5 then square your answer

When you put a power to the power of something, you just multiply the powers. So it's 5/12 x 2 = 5/6. So it's 64^(5/6) now.

(64^(5/12))^2
64^(10/12)
64^(5/))
Now get 6th root of 64.....which is 2
2^5=
32
