Question

2/10
how can you convert a radical expression to a rational exponent?
by subtracting the power from the root
by making the root the denominator and the power the numerator
by making the root the numerator and the power the denominator
by adding the root and the power

Explanation:

To convert a radical expression (e.g., \(\sqrt[n]{a^m}\)) to a rational exponent, the formula is \(a^{\frac{m}{n}}\), where the root \(n\) becomes the denominator and the power \(m\) becomes the numerator. The green option (subtracting power from root) and blue (adding root and power) are incorrect. The orange option swaps numerator and denominator. The purple option correctly states the rule.

Answer:

B. By making the root the denominator and the power the numerator
