Simplifying Using the Power Property with Rational Exponents
Apply the Power Property for Exponents, , to simplify an expression in which a variable raised to an integer power is subsequently raised to a rational exponent. For the expression , the inner exponent is and the outer exponent is . Using the Power Property, multiply the exponents: . Simplify the multiplication by evaluating , which equals , or . Therefore, the expression simplifies to . This demonstrates that the Power Property operates identically when the outer power is a fraction, requiring only the multiplication of an integer by a fraction.
