Rewrite the radical using a rational expression. This is hopefully the last math question for awhile.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

\[\Large\sqrt[n]{x^m}\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Rewrite this as a fraction.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

so \(\Large x^{m/n}\)?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Remember: in a fractional exponent, the top number is the power and the bottom number is the root.

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

Okay. Thank you! That's what I thought, I just didn't want to get it wrong. Thank you, both of you :)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

I always think of it as "m is the fat guy that does not really want to move, n is the runner that runs back and fourth to the beginning and lines up underneath the big guy" Haha.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Sure thing.

Thank you :D
