Answer:

The equivalent radical expression for the exponential expression
$15^{(1)/(2)}$ is
√(15)

Explanation:

Consider the provided exponential expression,
$15^{(1)/(2)}$

The rule to change the term to a radical is:

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

Now consider the provided exponential expression,

Replace x with 15 and n with 2 in the above radical rule.

$15^{(1)/(2)}=\sqrt[2]{15}$

It can be written as:

$\sqrt[2]{15}=√(15)$

Thus, the equivalent radical expression for the exponential expression
$15^{(1)/(2)}$ is
√(15)
