Question

check answer :)
Rewrite the rational exponent as a radical by extending the properties of integer exponents. (more below)

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 2^{\frac{7}{8}}}{ 2^{\frac{1}{4}} }\]
I got \[\sqrt[8]{2^5}\]

Answer 2

I got that, too.

Answer 3

because when it is set up like that you subtract the exponents to get 5/8, and the 5 goes under the radical while the 8 goes on the outside

Answer 4

ok thanks its my first time doing radicals wanna make sure i start off good. i didn't start off great in functions

Answer 5

That "outside" is called the index. The index of your radical answer is 8.

Answer 6

You are off to a good start.

Answer 7

oh ok, thanks!

Answer 8

i really like radicals. not as hard as i thought when i did my pre-test

Answer 9

Keep practicing.
