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.

Laox^(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..
What is X to the power of a half times x to the power of a half?
x
Is half X to the power minus a half the same as two over root X?
I'll say no. Let's look at it: Try to make the first part rearrange to look like: 2 / sqrt(X) = 2 / [x^(1/2)] = 2 * x^(-1/2)Half X to the power minus half could mean(Half of X) to the power (minus half) = (X/2)^(-1/2) = [(1/2)^(-1/2)] * [(X)^(-1/2)] = [(2)^(1/2)] / [(X)^(1/2)] = sqrt(2) / sqrt(X), which is not the same.If you mean Half of [X to the power (minus half)] = (1/2) * (X)^(-1/2) = (1/2) / (X)^(1/2) =1 / [2*sqrt(X)], which is not the same either.
What is the square root of x to the power of 8 to the power of 8?
The square root is the same as raising to the one-half power x tot he power of 8 tot he power of 8 to the power of one-half is x to the 32 power (x to the 8x8x1/2)
What is 'x' to the power half?
Square root of x
What is the square root of x to the seventeenth power?
The square root of x to the seventeenth power is x to the eighth and a half power. If x is negative, the answer is imaginary.
What is x to the power of minus one half?
poo you
What is x to the power of one half?
This is the same thing as square root of x.
How do you get the derivative of a square root?
The square root of x = x to the power of a half
What does x is raised to the power of 1 mean?
x to the power of 1 means x
If power of x is 2 divided with power of x 2?
1
What does x to a negative power mean?
It is the inverse of x to the positive value of that power. So x-a = 1/xa or (1/x)a
What is half of 3.4 x 10 to the 8th power?
It is 1.7*10^8
