Answer

y=4x3/2+3x1/2−2x−1/2y = 4x^{3/2} + 3x^{1/2} - 2x^{-1/2}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Rewrite the expression with the denominator in exponent form.

    The square root of xx can be written as x1/2x^{1/2}.

    y=4x2+3x−2x1/2y = \frac{4x^2 + 3x - 2}{x^{1/2}}
  2. Divide each term in the numerator by the denominator.

    y=4x2x1/2+3xx1/2−2x1/2y = \frac{4x^2}{x^{1/2}} + \frac{3x}{x^{1/2}} - \frac{2}{x^{1/2}}
  3. Simplify each term using the exponent rule aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}.

    For the first term:

    4x2−1/2=4x4/2−1/2=4x3/24x^{2 - 1/2} = 4x^{4/2 - 1/2} = 4x^{3/2}

    For the second term:

    3x1−1/2=3x2/2−1/2=3x1/23x^{1 - 1/2} = 3x^{2/2 - 1/2} = 3x^{1/2}

    For the third term:

    2x−1/22x^{-1/2}
  4. Combine the simplified terms.

    y=4x3/2+3x1/2−2x−1/2y = 4x^{3/2} + 3x^{1/2} - 2x^{-1/2}
