A fractional exponent is an exponent written in fractional form instead of a whole number. It represents both a power and a root.

am/n  = (n√a)m


Here, a = base , m = power , n = root


Ex: i. 811/2= 81= 9  


ii. 271/3= 3√27= 3

A fractional exponent like a1/n means the “nth root” of a. You can first take the root and then apply the power, or first apply the power and then take the root. For even roots like square roots, the base should be positive in real numbers.


1. (√√√√3)64 = ?


Explanation : 


Easy Trick / āϏāĻšāϜ āĻŸā§ā§°āĻŋāĻ•


4 square roots means divide the power by 2 four times: 64 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 = 4


So,  (√√√√3)64 = 34 = 81


2. (√√√3)24  = ?


Explanation


Easy Trick / āϏāĻšāϜ āĻŸā§ā§°āĻŋāĻ•


3 square roots mean divide the power by 2 three times:


24 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 ÷ 2 = 3


so, (√√√3)24= 33 = 27
