How to put 7^3/4 in radical form

1 Answer

Given:


7^{(3)/(4)}

Resolving it to its radical form can be gotten based on the general laws of indices.

We have:


A^{(x)/(y)}=\sqrt[y]{A^x}

I.e. the number is raised to the power of the numerator and then we get the denominator's root of the number obtained.

Thus:


\begin{gathered} 7^{(3)/(4)}=\sqrt[4]{7^3}=\sqrt[4]{343} \\ \sqrt[4]{343}=343^{(1)/(4)}=343^{((1)/(2)*(1)/(2))} \\ =343^{((1)/(2)*(1)/(2))}=\sqrt[]{343^{(1)/(2)}} \end{gathered}

Now, we have our value in the square root form as:


\sqrt[]{343^{(1)/(2)}}=\sqrt[]{7^{(3)/(2)}}
