Answer 1

i need to reduce \[32^{1/2}\]

Answer 2

it is not reducing, it is taking the square root

Answer 3

\[32^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{32}\]

Answer 4

you can rewrite this in simplest radical form as follows
\[\sqrt{32}=\sqrt{16\times 2}=\sqrt{16}\times \sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 5

ok how does that work when i have\[10^{1/5}\]?
