Understanding Fractional Exponents
Fractional exponents are a way to express roots and powers simultaneously. A fractional exponent like \( \frac{m}{n} \) indicates two operations: raising the base to the power of \( m \) and taking the \( n \)-th root.
For example, \( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \) is the square root of \( x \), and \( x^{\frac{2}{3}} \) is the cube root of \( x^2 \). In general, \( x^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^m} = (\sqrt[n]{x})^m \).
This tool simplifies expressions of the form \( b^{\frac{n}{d}} \) where \( b \) is the base, \( n \) is the numerator, and \( d \) is the denominator. Simply input these values to get the simplified result instantly.
Example
To simplify \( 8^{\frac{2}{3}} \):
- Enter 8 as the base.
- Enter 2 as the numerator.
- Enter 3 as the denominator.
