Question

suppose 12 is raised to the second power, like this: (12^2).

which answers show the inverse operation?

there is more than one correct answer. select all that apply.

((\frac{1}{2})^{12})

(\sqrt{12})

(12^{\frac{2}{1}})

(12^{\frac{1}{2}})

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the original operation

The original operation is squaring the number \(12\):

$$12^2$$

Step2: Determine the inverse operation

The inverse of squaring a number is taking its square root:

$$\sqrt{12}$$

Step3: Express the inverse using exponents

The square root can also be written as a fractional exponent:

$$12^{\frac{1}{2}}$$

Answer:

B. \(\sqrt{12}\), D. \(12^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
