re-write 125^1/3 using a radical.

OpenStudy (bibby):

fractional exponents are squares with the base of the denominator. For example sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont understand

OpenStudy (bibby):

The equation button is broken so I wrote something out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but there is no square root in my problem

OpenStudy (bibby):

The question says "radical" right there. These things are equal. that means 125^1/2 (for example) is the square root of 125.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 125 to the square root of 1/3

OpenStudy (bibby):

root 3. aka cubic root.
