Rewrite the rational exponent as a radical expression.

OpenStudy (bibby):

\({a^b}^c=a^{b*c}\)

OpenStudy (jolo_yolo):

im sorry could u walk me through the steps?

OpenStudy (bibby):

for example \(\large {5^3}^2=5^{3*2}=5^6\)

OpenStudy (jolo_yolo):

Oh ok. so which numbers from the whole equation do i use

OpenStudy (bibby):

apply the property of exponents. a power raised to another power => m ultiply the exponents a^m^n=a^m*n)

OpenStudy (jolo_yolo):

k so 3 x 2 is 6, would that be 3 to the 6th power

OpenStudy (bibby):

I'm asking you to apply the logic I've applied here to your problem

OpenStudy (jolo_yolo):

yea so a^mn is basically a^ m * n. im sorry my lesson was quite useless

OpenStudy (bibby):

yeah, that's the property of exponents being used here

OpenStudy (jolo_yolo):

oh ok so how do i find the radical expression

OpenStudy (bibby):

fractional exponents can be rewritten as radicals|dw:1416662000705:dw|
