Ah, a half power is like giving x a gentle hug and telling it to take a deep breath. It means finding the square root of x, which is like finding the number that, when multiplied by itself, equals x. So, x to the half power is just a way of saying the square root of x, allowing us to simplify and understand things in a beautiful way.

Stevex^(1/2) means the 'square root of 'x''.
Similarly
x^(1/3) means the 'cube root of x'.
x^(1/4) the fourth root of 'x.
et seq.,
e.g.
x = 16^(1/2) = +/-4
x = 27^(1/3) = 3
x = 81^(1/4) = +/-3
x ^(0.5) also means the square root as 0.5 = 1/2
similarly x^(0.333....) = cube root of 'x' as 0.3333.... = 1/3

What is x to the power of minus one half?
poo you
X to the 3rd power 125?
If you mean x^3 = 125 then x = 5
What is the square root of x to the power of 5?
Oh, dude, the square root of x to the power of 5 is x to the power of 5 divided by 2. I mean, like, you're just splitting that power in half, you know? So, if x is raised to the power of 5, taking the square root is like dividing that power by 2. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
How do you take the square root of exponents?
You divide the exponent by 2 The square root of a number is that number to the 1/2 power So for examle square root of x cubed (x^3) is x^3 to the half power =x^3/2 (x to the 3/2 power)
What is 1 half X minus 2?
X/2 - 2 the X stands for any number. For example, when X = 6, then "half of X minus two" is 6/2 -2 which is equal to 1 do u mean: 1/2 multiplied by -2 or what??? if yes then, 1/2 x -2 = -1..
