How are square roots related to exponents?
A square root is a number raised to the exponent (power) 1/2.
How do you use exponent in a sentence?
The square of a number can be represented by writing the number with an exponent of 2, whereas the square root of the number is represented by writing the number with an exponent of 1/2.
What is rational exponent represents a square root?
And exponent of -2 represents the square root
What is the coefficient and the exponent of the square root of 3b?
The coefficient is the number placed before a variable, or variables. As for the exponent: taking the square root of a number is the same as raising it to the power 1/2, so you can consider the exponent to be 1/2. Edit: So coefficient is ./3 and exponent is 1/2
How do you find the square root of a square root?
The laws of exponents help you out here. We can write square root of a number n, as n^1/2 power. Now we know that raising and exponent to a powers is done according to the rule (a^b)^c=a^bc. That is two say we multiply the exponents So doing that with 1/2 each time we find that the square root of the square root of n is n^1/4 which is the 4th root of n Looks look at an example. let n=16 The square root is 4 and the square root of that is 2 So this means the 4th root of 16 must be 2, but 2x2x2x2=16 so it is! Using this, one can you 1/4 as the exponent on a calculator and find square roots of square roots. or you could just find the square root of the first number then find the square root of that... real simple.

What is the opposite of a square root?
The opposite of a square root (exponent 1/2) is the square (exponent 2).
How do you find the square root of a variable with an odd numbered exponent?
The same way as you find the square root with an even-numbered exponent. For example, the square root of x10 is x5. That is, divide the exponent by 2. Similarly, the square root of x7 is x3.5. Once again, you simply calculate one-half of the exponent. If you prefer to express this with integer exponents and square roots, in this example you can write x3.5 as x3x0.5. The second part, x0.5, is equivalent to the square root of "x".
What exponent do you take any base to for the square root?
Raising a number to the 1/2 power produces the square root. 1/2 is the exponent you're looking for.
When you take the square root of a variable with an even number exponent how does the exponent value change?
When you take the square root of a variable raised to an exponent, you divide the exponent by two. For example the square root of x^4 is x^2, because x^2 x x^2 =x^4.
Is the square root an exponent?
Yes, the square root is equivalent to an exponent of 1/2.Suppose the exponent is a rational number of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q > 0. Then x^(p/q) = (the qth root of x) raised to the power p or, equivalently, (the qth root of (x raised to the power p).

When you raise a number to the power with the exponent one half you get its?

What is the little 3 in maths called?
It can be an exponent (if you find it after your number) or a root (if you find it in the bend of the square root sign. In the square root sign that goes over a number, if there is nothing in the bend (or the "V") of the sign, then the sign indicates the square root of the number under the "roof" of the sign. If there IS a number in the "V", for instance 3, it means the cube root of the number under the roof; a 4 in the V means the fourth root, and so on. Think of a number under the roof of the square root sign as yielding the opposite value from the same number with an exponent of 2. If you put a number with an exponent of 2 under a square root sign, the result will be your original number: in other words, the square root of 2 squared is 2. If you want to express a square root without the square root sign, you could simply give your number an exponent of the RECIPROCAL of two (e.g. 9-1/2), which equals 3. In words, this means nine to the one-half power equals the square root of nine, equals 3.x2 -- the 2 is called a subscript which here means the second value of x, usually after being changed by a function, or perhaps it indicates the second value of x that will be used in your calculationx2 -- the 2 is called a superscript (or "power") which here means x to the second power (x squared).
