Can someone please demonstrate how to simplify the following radical expression with variables: 3 with a 2 above the little check symbol on the left side of it, SQRT. 9x^4y? Thank you!

Question

I don't get what you're saying. Use the drawing tool and write the radical

anonymous · Answer

$$3\sqrt[2]{9x ^{4}y?}$$

anonymous · Answer

didn't mean to put ? in there, oops

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

Use the property of radical root(axb) =roota.rootb

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how to...

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

I'm using the phone so bear with me.  First rewrite 9x^4 like this (3x^2)^2

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

So that radical you started with will equal 3radical((3x^2)^2y)

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

Now separate the radical using the property of radicals

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

3radical(3x^2)^2).radical(y)

xapproachesinfinity · Answer

Do get what I'm doing?

Now my next question is how do you convert fractional exponents to radical notations? Please illustrate the concept with an example.
