@Sulle26 do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the denominator in the fraction means root and the numerator means power. does that make sense? so 4^1/2=2

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

so 1/2 16 is 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4^\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=\sqrt{4}=2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is not 8. what is the square root of 16

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then take the 5th root of 32. then square it

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I don't understand what that means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(\sqrt[5]{32})^2\]

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

28^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. how did you get 28 for the 5th root of 32.

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I have no clue!

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

That's what the calculator said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what can you multiply by itself 5 times to get 32. just do it with 4,3,2,1 see what you get with these 4

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Or 5.7^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is the 5th root of 32. now you should be able to square that value and solve

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

4+2=6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. because you have to square the 2

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I did the first 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the square root of 16 isnt 2

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

8 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
