Question

cwrw238 · Answer

the square root of something  is same as something to the power (1/2)

so  sqrt x^5 =  (x^5)^1/2

can you continue?

No, I'm really confused... :/ can you explain what you mean to me?

cwrw238 · Answer

well for example sqrt4 = 4^1/2 = 2

dare you familiar with the laws of indices?

cwrw238 · Answer

* are

anonymous · Answer

That made a lot more sense! I don't have a clear idea of how to use them, but I know what they are.

cwrw238 · Answer

if we take  (x^5) ^ 1/2    it equals  x^ (5 * 1/2)

cwrw238 · Answer

= x^(5/2)

 (6 sq. rt. x^5)^7  = 6^7 * x^(5/2)^7

can you continue?
