Chapter 7.3, Problem 1AGP

To determine

To write the radical in exponent form or write the exponent in radical form.

Answer to Problem 1AGP

  $\sqrt{a}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $a^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Formula used:

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Radical rule:}\text{}\sqrt{m}=m^{\frac{1}{2}}\\ \text{Radical rule:}\text{}\sqrt[n]{m}=m^{\frac{1}{n}}\\ \text{Exponent rule:}\text{}{m}^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{m}\\ \text{Exponent rule:}\text{}{m}^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{m}\end{array}$

Calculation:

The expression is in exponent form. So, it required to write this expression in radical form.

Use the rule $m^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{m}$ , to write the given expression in radical form as $\sqrt{a}$ .

Conclusion:

The radical form of the expression is $\sqrt{a}$ .
