I got some of them done, need you to check

EndersWorld:

\[(36)^1/2=\sqrt[2]{36}\]

EndersWorld:

@Shadow

Shadow:

Correct

EndersWorld:

\[2\frac{ 1 } { 2 } * 32\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

EndersWorld:

6 was my answer

Shadow:

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

Shadow:

I am guessing it was \[(2)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2}} \times (36)^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2}} \]

EndersWorld:

Except there wasn’t any parentheses

Shadow:

\[\sqrt 2 \times \sqrt 36 = \sqrt (2 \times 36) = 6 \sqrt 2\]

EndersWorld:

I’m confused...

Shadow:

\[2^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} \times 36^{\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }} = \sqrt 2 \times \sqrt 36 = \sqrt 72 = \sqrt (2 \times 36) = 6 \sqrt 2\]
