Here is the expression: 8 ^1/2 2 ^1/2 the exponents are the fraction one half. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8 ^1/2 * 2 ^1/2
-----
Convert 8 to base 2.
------
(2^3)^(1/2) *2^(1/2)
-------
Use the Rule: (a^n)^m = a^(nm)
-------
2^(3/2) *2^(1/2)
------
Use the Rule: a^x*a^y = a^(x+y)
-------------
= 2^(3/2 + 1/2)
----
= 2^1
----
= 2
