Question

in this form, the exponent is a fraction. what do the two parts mean? a what to divide the number b how many times to multiply the number by itself c what type of root it is

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the rule of fractional exponents

For a number \(x\) with a fractional exponent \(x^{\frac{b}{a}}\), it can be written in radical form as \(\sqrt[a]{x^{b}}\). The denominator \(a\) of the fractional exponent indicates the type of root. For example, if \(a = 2\), it is a square root; if \(a=3\), it is a cube root.

Answer:

C. what type of root it is
