    Simplifying with rational and negative exponents

    $$ \frac{3y^{1/3} - 3xy^{-2/3}2x}{y^{2/3}}$$ yes that is the expression, I couldn't get the LaTex to work properly, but yes.

    Simplifying with rational and negative exponents

    Homework Statement Simplify the expression completely 3(y)(1/3)-3x(y)(-2/3)(2x) / [(y)(1/3)]2 The Attempt at a Solution My attempt is totally wrong. I can't quit figure out what to do or where to start 3(y)(1/3)-3x(y)(-2/3)(2x) / [(y)(1/3)]2 3(y)(1/3)-6x(y)(-2/3) / y(2/3)...

    Spring force with free fall problem

    Homework Statement Consider the system below. The 2.50 kg mass compresses the spring (k = 805 N/m) a distance of 0.230 m from equilibrium. The mass is then released from rest. It slides a total distance of 1.20 m on the table top where it feels a force of kinetic friction of 5.60 N before it...
