\[\sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OK, well, consider this: \[\[\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}\]\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have squareroot of 3, then the 5th root of that value
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can basically think of roots as the base raised to the fraction 1/the xth root...so \[\sqrt{x} =x^{1/2}\] \[\sqrt[y]{x}\] is \[x^{1/y}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3^{5/2}\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
why 5 in the numerator?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It was an educated guess
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the value of \[\sqrt[5]{\sqrt{3}}\] is (3^.5)^(1/5) is alot smaller than \[3^{5/2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you have \[(3^{1/2})^{1/5}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you can use the rules of exponents, and here you raising \[3^{1/2}\] to \[1/5\]

so you would multiply the exponents here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3^{1/10}\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right on!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
haha thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah, no problem, do you have anymore questions?

wait, was this clear?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, I'll have more exponetial questions lol. and yes it was explained clearly
