if we think at here is a segment of the US population that strongly believes that the federal government should “stay out of the way of business” and essentially let the marketplace evolve via its own “pure market” dynamics. This perspective views government as essentially the enemy of commerce. Other people strongly believe that government can play a facilitative role in supporting business and industry development. in regard to the role that government should play in facilitating industry development. 

from that perspective need to help me to get some of the highlights of thinking ( specific and logically )?

2 1/2 2 1/3 #2. (a 1/2 b -1/3 )(ab) Simplify each expression using the rules of exponents and examine the steps you are taking.

#2. (a1/2 b-1/3 )(ab)

  • Simplify each expression using the rules of exponents and examine the steps you are taking.
  • Incorporate the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing. Do not write definitions for the words; use them appropriately in sentences describing the thought behind your math work.
  • Principal root
  • Product rule
  • Quotient rule
  • Reciprocal
  • nth root

with regards to the square root symbol, you will notice that it only shows the front part of a radical and not the top bar. Thus, it is impossible to tell how much of an expression is included in the radical itself unless you use parenthesis. For example, if we have √12 + 9 it is not enough for us to know if the 9 is under the radical with the 12 or not. Therefore, we must specify whether we mean it to say √(12) + 9 or √(12 + 9), as there is a big difference between the two. This distinction is important in your notation.

Another solution is to type the letters “sqrt” in place of the radical and use parenthesis to indicate how much is included in the radical as described in the second method above. The example above would appear as either “sqrt(12) + 9” or “sqrt(12 + 9)” depending on what we needed it to say.
