Exponential Expressions and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to write expressions in exponential form by simplifying problems involving square roots and exponents. It covers the process of taking terms out of square roots, using fractions to simplify expressions, and solving problems with specific examples like the cube of the square root of 5x and the square root of 9a^2b^4. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplifying expressions to their simplest form.

What is the first step in writing expressions in exponential form?

• Convert the expression to a fraction

• Add the exponents

• Simplify the expression as much as possible

• Multiply the expression by itself

How do you simplify the cube of the square root of 5x?

• Take 5x out of the square root and make 1/3 the exponent

• Multiply 5x by 3

• Add 3 to the exponent of 5x

• Divide 5x by 3

What happens to the square root when you simplify the expression?

• It becomes a cube root

• It remains unchanged

• It is removed from the expression

• It is doubled

In the new problem, what is assumed when there is no number in the square root?
