It represents the ratio between the numerator and the denominator. It is totally misleading to suggest that it represent anything like "parts of a whole". The ratio of the surface area of a sphere to its volume is 3/r. In this expression 3 parts out of the "total" radius is not a particularly meaningful or useful concept.
It represents the order of the root that needs to be calculated. A denominator of 2 means a square root. A denominator of 3 means a cube root. And so on.
In a fraction, the numerator represent the part out of the denominator which represents the total. Neither need be rational (or even real).
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16
process by which a fraction containing radicals in the denominator is rewritten to have only rational numbers in the denominator.
A rational expression is not defined whenever the denominator of the expression equals zero. These will be the roots or zeros of the denominator.
A rational exponent is an exponent that is expressed as a fraction, where the numerator indicates the power and the denominator indicates the root. For example, ( a^{\frac{m}{n}} ) means the ( n )-th root of ( a ) raised to the power of ( m ), or ( \sqrt[n]{a^m} ). Rational exponents allow for a more concise representation of roots and powers in mathematical expressions.

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
It is a rational number. The reason that it is rational is that you can represent it as a fraction, where the denominator (the number at the bottom of the fraction) is not equal to 0.So, for example, as we could write the number 15.125 as 15125/1000 then it is rational.
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.
You can use any number - rational or otherwise - as an exponent.
And exponent of -2 represents the square root
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16
No, it is an expression, not an equation.
That is not true.
Rational, since it can be written as 25/1 .
