6.1 nth Roots and Rational Exponents Using Rational Exponent Notation Rewrite the expression using RATIONAL EXPONENT notation. Ex) If n is odd, then a has one real nth root: If n is even and a = 0, then a has one nth root: If n is even and a > 0, then a has two real nth roots: If n is even and a < 0, then a has NO Real roots:Goal1
