How do you convert a radical expression to exponential form?

Back

To convert a radical expression to exponential form, express the root as a fractional exponent. For example, ∛x can be written as x^(1/3).

What is the relationship between radicals and rational exponents?

Back

Radicals can be expressed using rational exponents, where the nth root of a number can be written as that number raised to the power of 1/n.
