Can you find the numbers as powers with the given bases as your clue? Example: the number is 64 and the base is 4. I test 4x4=16 Then 16x4=64 So my power must be 43 because 4x4x4=64. Now you try... 1. It has a value of 32; it has a base of 2 2. 81, base 9 3. 81, base 3 4. 100, base 10

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
