Radicals and rational exponents are two ways of writing the same problem. In a rational exponent, the numerator is the "power" or degree and the denominator is the "radical".
For example:

.
For the exponent of (3/2) = 3 (power)/2 (radical) or take the 2nd or "square" root of x and than raise the entire radical to the 3rd power.
=
.
.Another example of this relationship is with fractions and division. Fractions and division are really the same operation, just written differently.
For example:
10/5 = 2 is the same as 10 divided by 5 = 2.
