Answer:
(a) [tex]a=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
(b) We use the property of exponent that when there is multiplication of two function then there exponent are added
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given expression
[tex](a^{\frac{1}{4}}a^{\frac{1}{2}}a^{\frac{1}{4}})2=3[/tex]
(a) We have to find the value of a
We know the property of exponent that when there is multiplication of two function then there is addition of exponent
So [tex]a^{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}}\times 2=3[/tex]
[tex]2a=3[/tex]
[tex]a=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
(b) We use the property of exponent that when there is multiplication of two function then there exponent are added
