Question

Which expression is equivalent to 60^(1/2)?

A)(60/20)
B)sqrt60
C)(1/60^2)
D)(1/sqrt60)

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

In Mathematics, if a number has an exponent or power
`(1)/(2)` or
`0.5`, then it is equal in value to the square root of the number.

So, in our case, we are given an expression
`60^{(1)/(2)}`. This expression means that the number 60 has an exponent or power equal to
`(1)/(2)`. Thus,
`60^{(1)/(2)}` is equal in value to
`√(60)`.

From the given options, Option B is the correct option and hence it is the answer.
