math question

<p>hey all. I've been having trouble with this math problem that is really quit simple but somehow eluding my calculator lol. When I check my simplified answer back it gives me a different one than the original format. Try it and tell me what you get.</p>

<p>(x-1)^(1/3) x (x-3)^(-1/4).</p>

<p>Ah sorry it was supposed to be 3.</p>

<p>(x-1)^(1/12)</p>
