So the cool thing about rational exponents is that the numerator just becomes a power and the denominator just becomes a root. Easy-peasy-parchesie.
$$\Large x^\frac{a}{b} = \sqrt[b]{x^a}$$

am i suppose to make up my own x a & b?

anonymous · Answer

Aw, yeah gurl.
Rational exponent just means that it's a fraction. So make an exponent that is a fraction, and then use the rule to write it as a power and a root instead.

oh okay. So if i was to use 61/3 then the rational exponet would be 3squareroot6?

anonymous · Answer

*6^1/3

anonymous · Answer

Yes =)

thanks:)

anonymous · Answer

$$\Large 6^\frac{1}{3} = \sqrt[3]{6^1}$$
