$3 (\frac{1}{2} x^{- \frac{1}{2}})$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}})$

Step 2

Combine.

$3 \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Step 3

Multiply $1$ by $1$ .

$3 \frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

Step 4

Combine $3$ and $\frac{1}{2 x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ .

$\frac{3}{2 x^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
