Icant get any of the answers that are listed. not sure what i'm doing wrong.

Okay well, first of all The 2 outside the parentheses can simplify both exponents. So simplification leaves you with 2 * 2^3/2 2^3/2 can be written as sqrt2^3 Then that can be sinplified to 2sqrt2. Multiply 2 sqrt2 by 2 and you get 4 sqrt 2. So when you look at the answers, choice B, when simplified, equals 4 sqrt 2. So B should be your answer.

If you are muliplying exponents with the same base, then u simple add the exponents and keep the base [2^(1/2) x 2^(3/4)]^2 = [2^(5/4)]^2 which is simply the 4th root of x^5 all of it squared. The power of a power you just muliply so 5/4 x 2 = 5/2. Your answer is b. 

This is rectangle ABCD, where coordinates of the vertices are: A ( ( 4, 3 ); B ( 11, 3 ); C ( 11, 9 ) and D ( 4, 9 ). The area of the rectangle is: A = L x W ( L - length and W - width ). Length = AB = 11 - 4 = 7. Width = BC = 9 - 3 = 6. Finally: A = 7 * 6 = 42. The area of a rectangle is 42. Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!
