Section 10.2 Rational Exponents

Definition of Rational Exponents Definition of Rational Expressions Introduction How should we define , n is a counting number? Exponent property (–3)2 = 9 and 32 = 9 suggest (32) ½ = 9 ½ = 3 The nonnegative number 3 is the principal second root, or principle square root, of 9, written If m = , n = 3:

Definition of Rational Exponents Definition of Rational Expressions Introduction 23 = 8 Suggests that a good meaning of is 2 The number 2 is called the third root, or cube root, of 8 written

Definition of Rational Exponents Definition of Rational Expressions Definition For the counting number n, where n ≠ 1, If n is odd, then is the number whose nth power is b, and we call the nth root of b. If n is even and , then is the nonnegative number whose nth power is b, and we call the principle n root of b. If n is even and b < 0, then is not a real number may be represented by
