Question

What is the equivalent radical expression for the exponential expression 15 1/2

Answer 1

the square root of 15.
idk if you have to simplify

Answer 2

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)`
