Simplify the radical please help

OpenStudy (bibby):

\[\sqrt{x^3} = x^{3/2}\] square roots raise whatever is under them to the 1/2 power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be this right?

@bibby

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well I think the simplification needs some index laws.... \[\sqrt{x^{13}} = \sqrt{x^{12} \times x} = \sqrt{x^{12}} \times \sqrt{x} = x^6 \sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (bibby):

I was just going to say x^{13/2} but you and campbell seem right

awesome thanks the both of you
