Question

Which of the following terms best describes an exponent that has the forn m/n where m and n are integers? A. Complex number B. Rational Equation C. rational Exponent D. Like Radicals

Answer 1

Answer with explanation:

A number of the form ,
`(m)/(n)`, where m and n are integers are called Rational number when, n≠0.

Let, ,
`p=(m)/(n)`,

Then Exponent Raised to power, , that is ,
`(m)/(n)`,

`(\text{Exponent})^{\text{Rational}}=e^{(m)/(n)}=e^p`

Option C: Rational Exponent

Answer 2

C. a rational exponent because m/n is a rational equation and is an exponent in this case
