Question

What is b^2/5 in radical form?

Answer 1

Is it:\[b ^{2/5}\] or \[(b^{2})/5\]

Answer 2

the first one

Answer 3

You have \[b ^{n/m}\]. You find your radical for by placing your m value on the root of the equation, so you should have \[\sqrt[m]{b^n}\] If you plug your equation into that formula, you should get:
\[\sqrt[5]{b^2}\]

Answer 4

\[\sqrt[5]{b}^2\]

Answer 5

Okay thank you that helps a lot

Answer 6

Anytime :) \[\sqrt[5]{b^2}\] and \[(\sqrt[5]{b})^2\] all have the same value; any of the 2 would be correct
