: This is a discussion board question that I need to get answered and I have NO idea where to even start on this one. Here's the assignment that I'm supposed to come up w/ an answer.
While the radical symbol is widely used, converting to rational exponents has advantages. Explain an advantage of rational exponents over the radical sign. Include in your answer an example of an equation easier to solve as a rational exponent rather then a radical sign.
Any ideas on where to start at??? This question is from textbook College Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! One of the rules of exponents is:
log A^n = nlog A
Having a rational exponent visible is a help
in applying this rule.
Example
log(3) 7^(1/5) = (1/5)log(3) 7
