Question

Rewrite the radical expression as an expression with rational exponents.

fourth root of x to the power of 5

Answer 1

Lets first write out what they gave us: \(\large \sqrt[4]{x^5}\)


The rule you should note about roots and fraction exponents is:
\(\large \sqrt[n]{x^m}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}\)
[The exponent goes on the numerator and the root is on the denominator]
