3 Answers
Explanation:
The square root of
need to divide the given exponent by the value of the root required:
So:
Explanation:
The expression which we have is:-
It can also be written as
The final answer is:
Explanation:
Note that:
#(2a^3)^2 = 2^2(a^3)^2 = 4a^6#
So
Note that:
#(-2a^3)^2 = 4a^6#
So
What do we mean when we write
So long as the radicand is non-negative, then these symbols refer to the principal non-negative square root.
For any real value of
Note however that
So in order to cover all real values of
#sqrt(4a^6) = abs(2a^3)#
If, in addition we are told that
#sqrt(4a^6) = 2a^3#
