When you take the square root of a variable raised to an exponent, you divide the exponent by two.
For example the square root of x^4 is x^2, because x^2 x x^2 =x^4.

To mutiply a number by its self?
Multiplying a number by itself will result in the squared exponent of the number. Which its base number would be its square root.
Is the square root an exponent?
Yes, the square root is equivalent to an exponent of 1/2.Suppose the exponent is a rational number of the form p/q where p and q are integers and q > 0. Then x^(p/q) = (the qth root of x) raised to the power p or, equivalently, (the qth root of (x raised to the power p).
What is the exponent of 21 square?

What is the coefficient and the exponent of the square root of 3b?
The coefficient is the number placed before a variable, or variables. As for the exponent: taking the square root of a number is the same as raising it to the power 1/2, so you can consider the exponent to be 1/2. Edit: So coefficient is ./3 and exponent is 1/2
How do you use exponent in a sentence?
The square of a number can be represented by writing the number with an exponent of 2, whereas the square root of the number is represented by writing the number with an exponent of 1/2.
What are the multiples of three but are square numbers?

How are square roots related to exponents?
A square root is a number raised to the exponent (power) 1/2.
What is an irrational exponent?
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.
How do you find the square root of a variable with an odd numbered exponent?
The same way as you find the square root with an even-numbered exponent. For example, the square root of x10 is x5. That is, divide the exponent by 2. Similarly, the square root of x7 is x3.5. Once again, you simply calculate one-half of the exponent. If you prefer to express this with integer exponents and square roots, in this example you can write x3.5 as x3x0.5. The second part, x0.5, is equivalent to the square root of "x".
What is the inverse to the square root symbol?
