1 .2 Rational Exponents Most of the power used to move a ship is needed to push along the bow wave that builds up in front of the ship. Ships are designed to use as little power as possible. To ensure that the design of a ship is energy-efficient, designers test models before the real ship is built. To calculate the speed to use when testing a model the following formula is used. 2 S S m = r L m 2 L r where S m is the speed of the model in metres per second, S r is the speed of the real ship in metres per second, L m is the length of the model in metres, and L r is the length of the real ship in metres. This formula includes powers with fractional exponents. INVESTIGATE & INQUIRE Using the power law for exponents, 9 can be written as ( 9 2 ) 2, because ( 9 2 ) 2 = = 9 or 9. Copy and complete the following statements by replacing each with a natural number. The first statement has been partially completed. a) 9 = ( 9 2 ) 2 b) 25 = ( 25 2 ) 2 but 9 = () 2 but 25 = ( ) 2 c) 8 = ( 8 ) d) 6 = ( 6 4 ) 4 but 8 = ( ) but 6 = ( ) 4 so ( 9 2 ) 2 = 2 so ( 25 2 ) 2 = ( ) 2 and 9 2 = and 25 2 = so ( 8 ) = ( ) so ( 6 4 ) 4 = ( ) 4 and 8 = and 6 4 =.2 Rational Exponents MHR
2 2. Evaluate. a) 6 2 b) 27 c) 8 4 d) A ship is to be built 00 m long and able to travel at 5 m/s. The model of the ship is 4 m long. At what speed should the model be tested? In the power law for exponents, (a m ) n = a mn, substituting m = gives n (a n ) n n = an = a or a If a 0, we can take the nth root of both sides of the equation (a n which gives a n n = a. This result suggests the following definition. a n n = a, where n is a natural number. ) n = a, The symbol n indicates an nth root, and n x represents the principal nth root of x. For example, 64 = 64. The expression 64 is read as the cube root of 64. Finding the cube root of a number is the inverse operation of cubing. To find the cube root of 64, find the number whose cube is 64. Since 4 = 64, 64 = 4. If n is an even number, then we must have a 0 for the nth root to be real. Suppose that n is even and a is negative. For example, if n = 2 and a = 4, then ( 4) 2 becomes 4. There is no real square root of 4. If n is an odd number, then a can be any real number. For example, if n = and a = 8, then ( 8) becomes 8, which is 2. In this case, the principal root is negative. Note how brackets are used with fractional exponents. The expression 4 has no meaning in the real number system, but 4 = 2. Similarly, ( 4) 2 becomes 4, which has no meaning in the real number system. But 4 2 becomes (4 2 ) = 4 = 2. index radical sign n x radicand 2 MHR Chapter
3 EXAMPLE Exponents in the Form n Evaluate. a) 49 2 b) ( 27) c) ( 8) SOLUTION a) 49 2 = 49 b) ( 27) = 27 c) ( 8) = = 7 = = ( 8) 8 = 2 The following suggests how to evaluate an expression with a fractional exponent in which the numerator is not, such as 4 2. The power law (a m ) n = a mn is used. Method Method = (4 2 ) 4 2 = (4 ) 2 = (4) = 4 = 2 = 64 = 8 = 8 Notice that (4) and 4 have the same value. This result suggests the following definition for rational exponents. a m n = n a m = ( n a) m, where m and n are natural numbers. If n is an even number, then a 0. If n is an odd number, then a can be any real number. To calculate a m n take the nth root of a, then raise the result to the mth power or 9 2 = (9) = = 27.2 Rational Exponents MHR
4 raise a to the mth power, then take the nth root 9 2 = 9 = 729 = 27 It is common practice to take the nth root first. EXAMPLE 2 Exponents in the Form m n Evaluate. a) ( 8) 4 b) c) SOLUTION Paper-and-Pencil Method a) ( 8) 4 = ( 8 ) 4 = ( 2) 4 = 6 b) = = = (9) 5 = 5 = 2 4 SOLUTION 2 Graphing-Calculator Method c) = = ( ( 25 ) 4 ) = 5 2 = = 25 The first answer given by a graphing calculator may be a decimal. If necessary, convert the decimal to a fraction using the Frac function. a) b) c) Note the use of brackets on the calculator. 4 MHR Chapter
5 EXAMPLE Evaluating Approximate Roots Use a calculator to evaluate the following, to the nearest hundredth. a) 2.5 b) 7 2 SOLUTION a) Estimate 2 = = b) Estimate Key Concepts a n n = a, where n is a natural number. To evaluate a n n or a in the real number system, if n is even, then a 0, if n is odd, then a can be any real number. a m n = n a m = ( n a) m, where m and n are natural numbers. To calculate a m n using paper and pencil, either take the nth root of a, then raise the result to the mth power, or raise a to the mth power, then take the nth root. Communicate Your Understanding.

7 Apply, Solve, Communicate 8. Ship building The design of a new ship calls for the ship to be 00 m long and travel at 2 m/s. To test the design, a model 5 m long is used. Using the formula from the beginning of this section, find the speed at which the model should be tested, to the nearest tenth of a metre per second. B 9. Horizon Because the Earth is curved, it is impossible to see beyond the horizon. The distance, d, to the horizon depends on the observer s height, h, above the ground. The radius of the Earth is r. The formula for the distance to the horizon is d = (2rh + h 2 ) 2. a) Use the diagram to show that the formula is valid. b) Assume that the radius of the Earth is 670 km. Find the distance to the horizon, to the nearest kilometre, for an observer in an aircraft 0 km above the Earth; in a spacecraft 200 km above the Earth. h r d r 0. Weather Meteorologists have determined that violent storms, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, can be described using the formula D = 9.4t 2. In this formula, D kilometres is the diameter of the storm and t hours is the time for which the storm lasts. If a typical hurricane lasts for about 8 h, what is its diameter, to the nearest kilometre?. Mining The volume of nickel Canada produces in a year is about m. a) If this volume of nickel were made into a single cube, what would be the length of each edge, to the nearest tenth of a metre? b) How does this volume of nickel compare with the volume of your school gymnasium?.2 Rational Exponents MHR 7
