Video Definition 19--Rationals and Radicals--Laws of Rational Exponents

Topic

Rationals and Radicals

Description

The laws of rational exponents extend the rules of exponents to fractional powers. For instance, 2(1/2) * 2(1/2) = 2(1/2 + 1/2) = 2, demonstrating the connection between exponents and roots. Explains the fundamental laws governing rational exponents, linking them to both roots and powers.
