1. 2. 3. Closure Match the explanation to its corresponding steps. Explain why . Closure Match the explanation to its corresponding steps. a) Using the "powers of powers" rule, if you square x to the half power, you will multiply one-half and two to get a product of one. x to the first power is x. 1. 2. 3. b) Since both expressions reduce to x when you square them, they must be equivalent. c) If you square the square root of x, you get x because they are inverse operations.
