Question

Simplify the following expression.

Answer 1

4^1/8

Explanation:

One of the exponential properties

Answer 2

○
`\bf 4^{(1)/(8)}`

Explanation:

To solve this, we have to use the following rule of surds:

`\boxed{(a^m)^n = a^(m * n)}`.

Thus we can simplify the given expression:

`(4^{(1)/(4)})^{(1)/(2)}`

⇒
`4^{{(1)/(4)} *{(1)/(2)}}`

⇒
`4^{{(1)/(4)} *{(1)/(2)}}`

⇒
`\bf 4^{(1)/(8)}`
