Rational Exponents

Rational Exponent  “Rational” relates to fractions  Rational exponents mean having a fraction as an exponent. Each part of the fraction (numerator and denominator) have a specific meaning. Numerator => Exponent!! Denominator => Index

Rational Exponents  Write the following expression as a radical  What is your base/radicand? x  What is your exponent? 3  What is your index? 2

Rational Exponents Rewrite the following expression as a radical: Simplify:

Rational Exponents Rewrite the following expression as a radical: Base? Exponent? Index? Base is 3y. Exponent is 1. Index is 3.

Rational Exponents Rewrite the following radical expression using rational exponents: Base? Exponent? Index? There are two bases: 24 and x 24: exponent is 1 & index is 4 x : exponent is 2 & index is 4

Examples:

More Examples: or

Examples: or Negative Rational Exponents

Use the properties of exponents to simplify each expression

Rational Exponents Rewrite the following expression using a single radical: To be in the same radical they have to have the same index (denominator). Find a common denominator!! The CD would be 6 Now rewrite using a radical with an index of 6. Remember which exponent goes with which base!

Rational Exponents Simplify!!
