Hint: Note that a^(1/3) = cube root of a
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I am so lost???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^-1/n ?????
OpenStudy (allank):
You have the hang of it. Just adjust lose the -ve and replace the n with 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^ 1/2 ??

\[x^{\frac{p}{q}}\] \(p\) is the power, \(q\) is the root for example
\[x^{\frac{2}{3}}\] means \[\sqrt[3]{x^2}\]
OpenStudy (allank):
You're right, but make sure you understand what @satellite73 has said.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and \(\sqrt[5]{x^2}=x^{\frac{2}{5}}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wish I knew it as well as you two.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, \(\sqrt{x}=\sqrt[2]{x^1}=x^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

that is why you are doing homework. this is simply notation, no one is born knowing it or "good" at it, you only need to practice
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks :)
OpenStudy (lopus):
\[\sqrt{x}=x^{1/2}\]
\[\sqrt[4]{x}=x^{1/4}\]
\[\sqrt[3]{x^{2}}=x^{2/3}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^{1/5}\] what expression does this equal???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt[5]{x

\[\sqrt[5]{x^{1}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh heck that didnt comeout right.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is not one of the choices??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the choices are 4 or 5sq.rt.x or 1/5 or 1/9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plus 4 others???

\[\sqrt[5]{x^{1}}=\sqrt[5]{x}\]
OpenStudy (lopus):
5sq.rt.x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, that is what I was going for but was not sure. tytytyty
OpenStudy (lopus):
\[\sqrt[b]{x^{a}}=x^{a/b}\]
