The properties of rational exponents can be applied to simplify expressions with radicals or rational exponents by writing radicals as numbers with rational exponents.
That allows you to apply the same properties of rational exponents to them.
By representing radicals as numbers with rational exponents, the properties of rational exponents can be used to simplify statements containing radicals or rational exponents. This allows you to apply the same rational exponent qualities to them.
