A rational exponent is an exponent in the form of a fraction. Many financial formulas use rational exponents. Compound interest is formula that uses rational exponents.
1/3
It means that it is an exponent, and that it is not a rational number - i.e., one that can be written as a fraction of two integers.
pa/b = (pa)1/b = bth root of (pa)
Raising to the one half (1/2) power is the same as taking the square root.
If the exponent or raised power of a number is in the form of p/q the exponent is said to be rational exponent. For example= 11/2 22/3
A rational exponent is an exponent in the form of a fraction. Many financial formulas use rational exponents. Compound interest is formula that uses rational exponents.
And exponent of -2 represents the square root
You can use any number - rational or otherwise - as an exponent.
No, it is an expression, not an equation.
Rational, since it can be written as 25/1 .

rational numbers are commonly referred to as fractions Any root ... square root, cube root, etc can be expressed as a rational exponent sq rt of x = x1/2 cube root of x = x1/3 if there is an exponent inside the radical you can also have rational exponents with some numerator other than 1 ex 4th root of x3 = x3/4
It means that it is an exponent, and that it is not a rational number - i.e., one that can be written as a fraction of two integers.

A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal.A rational exponent of the form p/q is the qth root of the pth power.So for example,x^(-2/3) = 1/x^(2/3) = 1/cuberoot(x^2) or, equivalently, 1/[cuberoot(x)]^2
