Radical expression and Exponents By definition of Radical Expression. The index of the Radical is 3.
So, what’s up? Exponential Form Radical Form The base becomes the radicand. The numerator becomes the exponent. The denominator becomes the index.
Let’s start easy… Use radicals to evaluate powers. = 8 = 4 = (-3)2 = 9 = (4)5 = 1024
What about Negative exponents Negative exponents make inverses.
What if the numerator is not 1 Evaluate
