Write the expression by using rational exponents.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[5]{9^{10}}\]

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

I believe it is 81.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, thats the result. but what about the expression. that confuses me.

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

I think you follow this rule: Rational Exponent Property. Fractional powers, or where a number is raised to a fraction, can be converted to a radical. The numerator becomes the exponent, and the denominator becomes the index of the radical. \[x ^{\frac{ 1 }{ n }}=\sqrt[n]{x}\]\[x ^{\frac{ m }{ n }}=\sqrt[n]{x ^{m}}\]\[x \neq0\] Okay, let's do yours now:

Okay, let's do yours now: \[\sqrt[5]{9^{10}}=9^{\frac{ 10 }{ 5 }}=9^{2}=81\]

Remember to write the Rational Exponent Property in your notes! It'll come in handy! ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! Thanks! I have a couple more, can you just check my answers?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

I'll see if I can help you. (^_^ ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt{8^3}\] is it \[16\sqrt{2}\] ??

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

Yes. :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it √5 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 3?

OpenStudy (kewlgeek555):

The first one you are wrong.\[(\sqrt[6]{5})^{3}=5\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]and for the second one you are correct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome! that's all I needed! Thank you!

You are welcome. :3
