Consider that a root is the same as a divided power. So: \[\sqrt{5} = 5^{\frac{1}{2}}\]

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Here we have the -5th root. What does that translate to in terms of power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you give me a chance to explain my response?

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

I'm afraid the point isn't to answer and then explain. It's to interactively guide the asker to an answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

explain then answer?

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

You're not just explaining, you're guiding the asker to an answer, so you should very rarely have to provide the answer yourself at all. The asker should be able to come up with it themselves, with your guidance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@this Can you tell me what the \[\sqrt{-1}\] is?

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Word :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you scared the asker away now :'(

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

No, she never responded to me either hehe.
