Problem 1. Do you know the definition of a rational (fraction) exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55 im afraid i don't

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\Huge a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n] {a^m} = (\sqrt[n]a)^m\)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

To find a rational power of a number, raise the number to the numerator of the exponent and take the root of the number the denominator tells you.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Keep in mind: numerator -------> exponent denominator -----> root

Examples: |dw:1438493658565:dw|
