Question

Which of the following is equivalent to 60^1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

B. $\sqrt{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression $(60)^{\frac{1}{2}}$. We are asked to find the equivalent expression to our given expression.

We will use law of exponents to solve our given problem.

Using property $\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^{\frac{m}{n}$ we can rewrite our given expression as:

$(60)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{60^1}$

$(60)^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{60}$

Upon looking at our given choices we can see that option B is the correct choice.

Answer 2
