Question 1097468: Use the commutative property of multiplication and properties of rational
exponents rewrite 2.5^^m/n as two equivalent radical expressions. Explain what
these two equations mean about different ways to evaluate 2.5^^m/n.

2.5 ^ m/n is equivalent to (2.5 ^ m) ^ (1/n) which is equal to the nth root of (2.5 raised to the mth power).

that would look like this:

equals

it is also equivalent to (2.5 ^ (1/n)) ^ m which is equal to (the nth root of 2.5) raised to the mth power.

that would look like this:

equals
