Match the rational exponent expression in Column I with the equivalent radical expression in Column II. Assume that x is not 0. -3x-1/3
Two columns of rational exponent expressions labeled I and II with multiple-choice options matching each to equivalent radical forms.

Identify the given expression: \(-3x^{-\frac{1}{3}}\).
Recall that a rational exponent \(x^{\frac{m}{n}}\) can be rewritten as a radical: \(x^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^m}\).
Apply this to the term \(x^{-\frac{1}{3}}\): rewrite it as \(\left(\sqrt[3]{x}\right)^{-1}\), which is the reciprocal of the cube root of \(x\).
Since the exponent is negative, rewrite \(x^{-\frac{1}{3}}\) as \(\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}}\).
Combine the coefficient \(-3\) with the radical expression to get the equivalent radical form: \(-3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x}} = \frac{-3}{\sqrt[3]{x}}\).

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Rational Exponents

Rational exponents express roots and powers simultaneously, where the numerator indicates the power and the denominator indicates the root. For example, x^(m/n) means the nth root of x raised to the mth power, or (√[n]{x})^m.

Negative Exponents

A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent. For instance, x^(-a) equals 1 divided by x^a, which flips the base to the denominator.

Converting Rational Exponents to Radical Expressions

To convert a rational exponent to a radical expression, rewrite x^(m/n) as the nth root of x raised to the mth power: x^(m/n) = √[n]{x^m}. This helps in matching expressions involving radicals and rational exponents.
