7.2 Properties of Rational Exponents
Objectives/Assignment • Use properties of rational exponents to evaluate and simplify expressions • Assignment: 23-89 odd
Properties of ExponentsThese Properties can also be applied to rational exponents.
Properties of ExponentsThese Properties can also be applied to rational exponents. If m = 1/n , then in radical notation this could be written: And this one could be written:
For a radical to be in simplest form, you must not only apply the properties of radicals, but also remove any perfect nth powers (other than 1) and rationalize any denominators.

Two radical expressions are like radicals if they have the same index and the same radicand. For instance, these are like radicals:
