Describe how a root can be written using a rational expression. Give an example.

√36 = 6

³√ 5 = 5 ^ ⅓

⁴√ 16 = 16 ^ ¼

= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the square of a number, is the power of 2 to the base of that number, or the exponent 2 to the base of that number.

Such as :

The Square of 5.

=5²

= 5*5 = 25.

In thesame vain, the SQUARE of a number is to the power 2 of that number.

Hence, the SQUARE ROOT, of any number is the ROOT 2 , to that number. Such that:

Square roots of 5:

√5

= 5 ^½

√12

= 12 ^ ½

√36

= 36 ^ ½

= 6

For other expression other than 2, the rational expression will be a function of the value before the root.

Such that:

1. ³√5 = 5 ^ ⅓

2. ³√ 12 = 12 ^ ⅓

3. ³√8 = 8 ^ ⅓ = 2

4. ⁴√ 16 = 16 ^ ¼ = 2

5. ⁴√24 = 24 ^ ¼

The other goes on and on in that order
