Question

how can an expression written in either radical form or rational exponent form be rewritten to equivalent forms?

Answer 1

You can rewrite radical form expressions by putting the expression to the power of 1/n, n depending on the radical. For example: sqrt2 = 2^(1/2) or cuberoot4= 4^(1/3). Vice versa with rational exponent equations: 5^(1/2) = sqrt5 or 3^4/3 = cuberoot3^4
