Exponential Expressions and Equations

Exponential expressions are essentially numbers that have been elevated to a certain power, for instance, 2^3. Exponential equations, on the other hand, are equations that include these expressions, such as 2^x = 8. These equations are particularly useful in illustrating patterns of growth or decay and can be resolved by employing logarithms or factoring methods. They find significant applicability in sectors such as science, finance, and engineering.

Exponential Expressions

Select the expression which is not equivalent to:

a^{2} b^{- 3} c^{1.5}

\frac{a^{1.5} c^{2}}{\sqrt[4]{a^{- 2} b^{12} c^{2}}}

\frac{(a^{- 2} b^{- 2} c^{3}) (a^{- 2} b^{2} \sqrt{c^{- 3}})}{a^{- 6} b^{2}}

\frac{a^{3} b^{- 1} c^{3}}{\sqrt{a^{2} b^{4} c^{3}}}
