Question

I really need help with this question.

How are rational exponents related to integer exponents

Answer 1

if

\( \large r =\frac{n}{d}\)

then

\( \large x^r = x^{\frac{n}{d}} = (x^{\frac{1}{d}})^{n} = (x^{n})^{\frac{1}{d}} = \sqrt[d]{x^n}\)

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

is that all there is to it?

Answer 4

yes
