Step-by-step solution

Part a· 2 steps

Step 1: Apply the negative exponent rule (ab)−n=(ba)n\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{-n} = \left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^n.

(827)−13=(278)13\left(\frac{8}{27}\right)^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \left(\frac{27}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}
  1. Apply the fractional exponent rule a1n=ana^{\frac{1}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a}.

    (278)13=2783\left(\frac{27}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{8}}
  2. Calculate the cube root of the numerator and the denominator.

    2783=27383=32\sqrt[3]{\frac{27}{8}} = \frac{\sqrt[3]{27}}{\sqrt[3]{8}} = \frac{3}{2}

    The answer is 32\boxed{\frac{3}{2}}.

Part b

x2+2x+1x^2 + 2x + 1

Step 1: Expand the expression (x+1)2(x+1)^2 using the formula (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2.

Here, a=xa=x and b=1b=1.

(x+1)2=x2+2(x)(1)+12(x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2(x)(1) + 1^2
  1. Simplify the expanded expression.

    x2+2x+1x^2 + 2x + 1

    The answer is x2+2x+1\boxed{x^2 + 2x + 1}.
