When b > 0 and d is a positive integer, (b)^−2/d is equivalent to which of the following expressions?

Answer:
Option C . 1/(d√b)²
Step-by-step explanation:
b^−2/d
We can simplify the above expression as follow:
b^−2/d
Recall
a¯ⁿ = 1/aⁿ
Therefore,
b^−2/d = 1/b^(2/d)
Recall:
a^(n/d) = (d√a)ⁿ
Therefore,
1/b^(2/d) = 1/(d√b)²
Thus,
b^−2/d = 1/(d√b)²
From the above illustrations,
b^−2/d is equivalent to 1/(d√b)².
The [tex]b^{-({2/d} )}[/tex] is equivalent to[tex]\frac{1}{(\sqrt[d]{b}) ^2}[/tex]
The given expression is,
[tex]b^{-({2/d} )}[/tex]
We solve the above expression by using the power rule
So,
What is the power rule for a¯ⁿ?
[tex]a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}[/tex]
Therefore,
By using the above rule we get,
[tex]b^{-(2/d)} =\frac{1}{b^(2/d)}[/tex]
Remember that the power rule,
[tex]b^{(n/d)} =\sqrt[d]{({b})^{n}}[/tex].........(1)
Therefore,
By comparing with equation 1 we get,
[tex]\frac{1}{b^(2/d)}=\frac{1}{(d\sqrt{b})^{2} }[/tex]
Thus we get,
[tex]\frac{1}{b^(2/d)}=\frac{1}{(d\sqrt{a})^{2} }[/tex]
From the above expression
[tex]b^{-({2/d} )}[/tex]
is equivalent to,
[tex]\frac{1}{(d\sqrt{b) }^{2} }[/tex]
Therefor the option C is correct.
