PLEASE HELP! WILL MEDAL! Rewrite the rational exponent as a radical. (5^3/4)^2/3 answers: http://prntscr.com/b8i2zj

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[\huge b^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{b^m}\]

OpenStudy (neonclawzz):

Could you help understand what i am supposed to do?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

@neonclawzz the first thing you need to use is this rule \[\Large \left(x^y\right)^z = x^{y*z}\] For example, \[\Large \left(x^3\right)^4 = x^{3*4}=x^{12}\]

OpenStudy (neonclawzz):

I think i just got it. It's 5 squared correct?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not 5 squared, but you're very close

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you mean square ROOT of 5?

OpenStudy (neonclawzz):

YES sorry!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes \(\LARGE \sqrt{5}\) is the final answer. Nice job.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

After using the rule I posted, you should get 1/2 as an exponent Then we use the rule @satellite73 wrote out \[\huge b^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{b^m}\] \[\huge 5^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[2]{5^1}\] \[\huge 5^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[2]{5}\] \[\huge 5^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{5}\]

Thank you for the help :>
