which expression is the radical form m^2.5

OpenStudy (ddcamp):

The first step is to convert the power to a fraction, so that you have: \[m^{\frac{a}{b}}\] Once you have that, you can find the radical form with this: \[m^{\frac{a}{b}} = \sqrt[b]{m^a}\] Remember that a radical sign without any numbers on it is always just a square root.

@DDCamp i still dont get it

OpenStudy (aum):

m^2.5 2.5 is a decimal. Can you write 2.5 in the form a / b where both 'a' and 'b' are integers? 2.5 = a / b What are 'a' and 'b' ? (they must be integers).

OpenStudy (aum):

\[ \large 2.5 = 5 / 2 \\ \large m^{2.5} = m^{5/2} = \{m^5\}^{1/2} = \sqrt{m^5} \]
