Using the laws of exponents again, explain why it makes sense to use
\n" ); document.write( "fractional exponents to represent the roots of a value.
\n" ); document.write( "Such as
\n" ); document.write( "9^(1/2) = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using fractional exponents it is easier to figure out
\n" ); document.write( "problems like [sqrt3 *(cube root 3)]
\n" ); document.write( "Rewriting with fractionals you get;
\n" ); document.write( "3^(1/2)*3^(1/3)= 3^(5/6)
\n" ); document.write( "That was easy but how would you handle original statement of
\n" ); document.write( "the problem?
\n" ); document.write( "Fractional exponents simplify multiplying, dividing, raising
\n" ); document.write( "to powers and finding roots because the laws of exponents apply.
