Question

Someone pls help!
write the expression in radical form. 2 4/5

Answer 1

`\sqrt[5]{2^4}`

Explanation:

Maybe you want 2^(4/5) in radical form.

The denominator of the fractional power is the index of the root. Either the inside or the outside can be raised to the power of the numerator.

`2^{(4)/(5)}=\boxed{\sqrt[5]{2^4}=(\sqrt[5]{2})^4}`

In many cases, it is preferred to keep the power inside the radical symbol.
