2 to the power of 2 over 3 \(\Large = 2^{2/3} = \sqrt[3]{2^2}\)

????????

@geerky42 i dont understand
geerky42 (geerky42):
Do you understand that part: 2 to the power of 2 over 3 \(\Large =2^{2/3}\) ?

well, \(\Large 2^{2/3} = \left(2^2\right)^{1/3} = \sqrt[3]{2^2}\)
if you have fraction exponent, you can rewrite it as root, for example: \(\Large x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}\)
does that make sense?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea
geerky42 (geerky42):
so which is answer?

?
do you know what \(\large 2^2\) is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4
geerky42 (geerky42):
yes so \(\Large \sqrt[3]{2^2}=\sqrt[3]{4}\)
Do you know what \(\Large \sqrt[3]{~~}\) is called?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cubed
geerky42 (geerky42):
you are thinking of \(\Large ~^3\).
\(\Large\sqrt[3]{~~}\) is called cube root.

So \(\Large\sqrt[3]{4}\) can be read as "Cube root of 4"
is that clear?
