Question

text  If  end text a to the power of negative 1 half end exponent equals x text , where  end text a greater than 0 comma text  what is  end text a text  in terms of  end text x text  ?  end text

  1. square root of x
  2. negative square root of x
  3. 1 over x squared
  4. negative 1 over x squared

The correct answer is: 1 over x squared


    Hint:
    In algebra, x to the power of negative p end exponent equals 1 over x to the power of p , where x ( not equal to0) and p both are real numbers.
    Explanations:
    Step 1 of 1:
    Given a to the power of negative 1 half end exponent equals x , where a greater than 0
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow open parentheses a to the power of negative 1 half end exponent close parentheses squared equals x squared , squaring up both sides
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow a to the power of negative open parentheses 1 half cross times 2 close parentheses end exponent equals x squared
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow a to the power of negative 1 end exponent equals x squared
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 1 over a equals x squared
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow a equals 1 over x squared
    Final Answer:
    a in terms of x is— C)
