Question

How can the properties of rational exponents be applied to simplify expressions with radicals or rational exponents?

Answer 1

Radicals can be also be written as numbers with rational exponents, which allows you to apply the same properties of rational exponents to them.

Answer 2

would u like an explanation

Answer 3

yeah @YK.PAPI

Answer 4

First, I will state something from the Law of Indices:
amn=am−−−√n=(a√n)m
Okay, for example we want to simplify this:
4√3⋅4√6
Because of the Law of Indices, we can write these as numbers with rational exponents. (To make it easier for us, let's write 4 as 22)
22−−√3⋅22−−√6
=223⋅226
=223⋅213 (We simplified 226 to 213)

Remember that when multiplying numbers with the same base, you simply add their exponents. In this case, both numbers have the same base (2).
223⋅213
=22+13
=233
=21
=2

Answer 5

u see were it says 226 thats a fraction and the number next to it is a fractiom

Answer 6

basically everything is a fraction
