Simplify x(x^2+1)^(-1/2)

Problem

x*(x2+1)(−1/2)

Solution

1. Identify the negative exponent property, which states that a(−n)=1/(an)

2. Rewrite the term (x2+1)(−1/2) as a fraction by moving it to the denominator.

3. Apply the definition of fractional exponents, where a(1/2)=√(,a) to express the denominator as a square root.

4. Combine the terms into a single algebraic fraction.

Final Answer

x*(x2+1)(−1/2)=x/√(,x2+1)
