Question

Change the following expression to radical notation: 5x^1/9

Answer 1

To convert exponential to radical expression and vice versa, we follow the pattern below:

$ab^{\frac{x}{n}}=a\sqrt[n]{b^x}^{}$

In the given term in the question, a = 5, b = x, n = 9, and x = 1. Let's plug these values into the radical form shown above.

The radical form of the given term is:

$5\sqrt[9]{x}$
