As I am drafting a quiz, to test factoring, exponents and radicals, I saw a question that I started to expand and play with and came up with what I think is a cool (in a nerdy sense) question. I am not using it on the quiz because I know the students already think my quizzes are too hard....
I will still give them the question to solve. And here it is:
Some rules to know to solve the equation:
1) Negative Exponents:
2) Adding Fractions:
3) Perfect Square Binomials:
4) Exponent and Root Relationship:
5) Fractional Radicals:
6) Rationalizing the Denominator:
Applying all these to the original equation we get:
Cool? or what?!
