What does the denominator of a rational exponent represent

Mathematics

The denominator of a rational exponent represents a root.

For example, the exponent \frac{1}{2} represents a square root. Likewise, an exponent of \frac{1}{3} represents a cube root.

_____

You can understand this if you recall what a root means, and what the rules of exponents are. A square root multiplied by itself gives the original value. Consider ...

\displaystyle\left(x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)\left(x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)=x^{\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\right)}\\\\=x^{1}=x

For other denominator values, the number of factors that must be multiplied to get x is the number in the denominator—just as you expect for a root.

So here's the rule from fractional exponents to radicals: x^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x^m}

<u>Looking at this rule, the denominator represents the root.</u>

If you make $3.80 an hour plus tips, what is your paycheck for the week if you worked 40 hours and made $250.00 dollars in tips?
lesya [120]

Answer:

$402

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

If you made 3.80 an hour and worked 40 we can multiply these to find the total amount you earned.

3.80 * 40 = 152

You also made 250 in tips so we add that to the total

152+250 = 402

The answer is $402

Hope this helps!

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

a) The test statistic is z = -2.51

b) The pvalue is 0.0060.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

Ha: pB < pNY

This means that the alternate hypothesis is rewritten as:

H_a: p_{B} - p_{NY} < 0

While the null hypothesis is:

H_0: p_{B} - p_{NY} = 0

The test statistic is:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis and s is the standard error

pB = 0.581, pNY = 0.832

This means that X = 0.581 - 0.832 = -0.251

0 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that \mu = 0

Standard error = 0.1

This means that s = 0.1

Test statistic:

z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

z = \frac{-0.251 - 0}{0.1}

z = -2.51

The test statistic is z = -2.51

Question b:

The pvalue is the probability of finding a proportion less than -0.251, that is, a difference of at least 0.251, which is the pvalue of Z = -2.51.

Looking at the z-table, Z = -2.51 has a pvalue of 0.0060

The pvalue is 0.0060.
