Question

Rewrite the following radical expressions as equivalent exponential expressions.
a. √5

Answer 1

So in exponential form
`√(5)` will be equivalent to
`5^{(1)/(2)}`

Explanation:

We have given the expression in radical form as
`√(5)`

We have to find its equivalent in exponential form

We know that if any fraction is in radical form then if we write this in exponential form then in exponential form the exponent come inverse of its number

So
`√(5)` can be written as
`5^{(1)/(2)}`

So in exponential form
`√(5)` will be equivalent to
`5^{(1)/(2)}`
