Is index the same as squared?
No. The power 2, which denotes squared, is one of an infinite number of possible values for the index. Indices (or powers) can be negative, fractional, irrational or even complex.
To convert an nth root notation to one that uses fractional exponents you change the index n to the exponent?
1/n
How do you work out negative fractional indices?
A number with a negative index is simply the reciprocal of the same number with a positive index. So, x-a = 1/xa Next a number to a fractional index, (a/b) is the ath power of the bth root of the number. Equivalently, it is the bth root of the ath power of the number. That is, xa/b = b√(xa) = (b√x)a. Combining these results: x-a/b = 1/(xa/b) = 1/[b√(xa)]
Fractional notation of 95?
makes no sense..do you mean 95%
How do you express something in radical form?
Using a radical (square root) bar. I can't get one on the screen, but I'm sure you know what they look like. Example: fractional exponents can be rewritten in radical form: x2/3 means the cube root of (x2) ... write a radical with an index number 3 to show cube root and the quantity x2 is inside the radical. Any fractional exponent can be done the same way. The denominator of the fractional exponent becomes the index of the radical, but the numerator stays as a whole number exponent in the radical.
Can index variable in for statement take negative or fractional value?
Yes, that is perfectly fine. (in c++ at least)

What is the fractional horsepower motor?
I think you mean kW, not kwh. Fractional just means less than one.

What is body index?
I think you mean Body Mass Index...?
What do you do when finding the mean and the number has a remainder?
You incorporate the fractional remainder into the mean. The mean does not have to be a whole number.

makes no sense..do you mean 95%
