Learn how to simplify a number with a rational exponent ex 3, 16^(3/2)

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate numbers raised to rational exponents. It begins by introducing the concept and then explores two methods: rewriting the expression as a radical and using exponent properties to simplify the expression. The tutorial demonstrates the process with an example, showing how to rewrite 16 as 4 squared and then apply exponent properties to find the final answer of 64. The video concludes by summarizing the steps involved in evaluating rational exponents.
