<PRE><B>Question 194579</B>
When working with exponents, is there any difference in operations if the exponents are whole numbers or fractions? 
There is no difference.
==================================

In what sense do exponents and radicals behave exactly the same way?
[sqrt(a)*sqrt(b) = sqrt(ab)
----
a^(1/2) * b^(1/2) = (ab)^(1/2)
