  2. Warm Up Simplify each expression. 1. 2. 3. 4.

  3. Essential Question How do you you evaluate and simplify expressions containing rational exponents?

  4. Recall that the radical symbol is used to indicate roots. Theindexis the small number to the left of the radical symbol that tells which root to take. For example represents a cubic root. Since 23 = 222 = 8 .

  5. Another way to write nth roots is by using fractional exponents. For example, for b >1, suppose Square both sides. Power of a Power Property b1 = b2k 1 = 2k If bm = bn, then m = n. Divide both sides by 2. So for all b > 1,

  6. Helpful Hint When b = 0, When b = 1,

  7. 1 1 1 n n n b b Additional Example 1: Simplifying b Simplify each expression. A. Use the definition of . = 7 B. Use the definition of . = 2 + 3 = 5

  8. 1 1 n n b b Check It Out! Example 1 Simplify each expression. a. Use the definition of . = 3 b. Use the definition of . = 11 + 4 = 15

  9. Definition of A fractional exponent can have a numerator other than 1, as in the expression . You can write the exponent as a product in two different ways. Power of a Power Property
