1 Section 7.2 Rational Exponents Rational Exponents S Understand the Meaning of a /n. 2 Understand the Meaning of a m/n. 3 Understand the Meaning of a -m/n. 4 Use Rules for Exponents to Simplify Expressions That Contain Rational Exponents. 5 Use Rational Exponents to Simplify Radical Expressions. Understanding the Meaning of a /n So far in this text, we have not defined expressions with rational exponents such as 3 /2, x 2/3, and -9 -/4. We will define these expressions so that the rules for exponents will apply to these rational exponents as well. Suppose that x = 5 /3. Then x 3 = 5 /3 2 3 = 5 /3 # 3 = 5 or 5 using rules for exponents Since x 3 = 5, x is the number whose cube is 5, or x = Notice that we also know that x = 5 /3. This means 5 /3 = Definition of a /n T If n is a positive integer greater than and 2 n a is a real number, then a /n = 2 n a Notice that the denominator of the rational exponent corresponds to the index of the radical. EXAMPLE Use radical notation to write the following. Simplify if possible. a. 4 /2 b. 64 /3 c. x /4 d. 0 /6 e. -9 /2 f. 8x 8 2 /4 g. 5y /3 a. 4 /2 = 24 = 2 b. 64 /3 = = 4 c. x /4 = 2 4 x d. 0 /6 = = 0 e. -9 /2 = - 29 = -3 f. (8x 8 ) /4 = 2 4 8x 8 = 3x 2 g. 5y /3 = 52 3 y Use radical notation to write the following. Simplify if possible. a. 36 /2 b. 000 /3 c. x /3 d. /4 e. -64 /2 f. 25x 9 2 /3 g. 3x /4 2 Understanding the Meaning of a m/n As we expand our use of exponents to include m, we define their meaning so that n rules for exponents still hold true. For example, by properties of exponents, 8 2/3 = 8 /3 2 2 = or 8 2/3 = /3 = Definition of a m/n If m and n are positive integers greater than with m n in simplest form, then as long as 2 n a is a real number. a m/n = 2 n a m = 2 n a2 m

2 420 CHAPTER 7 Rational Exponents, Radicals, and Complex Numbers Notice that the denominator n of the rational exponent corresponds to the index of the radical. The numerator m of the rational exponent indicates that the base is to be raised to the mth power. This means 8 2/3 = = = 4 or 8 2/3 = = 2 2 = 4 From simplifying 8 2/3, can you see that it doesn t matter whether you raise to a power first and then take the nth root or you take the nth root first and then raise to a power? Helpful Hint Most of the time, 2 n a2 m will be easier to calculate than 2 n a m. EXAMPLE 2 Use radical notation to write the following. Then simplify if possible. a. 4 3/2 b. -6 3/4 c /3 d. a 9 b 3/2 e. 4x - 2 3/5 a. 4 3/2 = = 2 3 = 8 b. -6 3/4 = = = -8 c /3 = = = 9 d. a 9 b 3/2 e. 4x - 2 3/5 = 2 5 4x = a A 9 b 3 = a 3 b 3 2 Use radical notation to write the following. Simplify if possible. a. 6 3/2 b. - 3/5 c /4 d. a 3/2 25 b e. 3x /9 = 27 Helpful Hint The denominator of a rational exponent is the index of the corresponding radical. For example, x /5 = 2 5 x and z 2/3 = 2 3 z 2, or z 2/3 = 2 3 z Understanding the Meaning of a m/n The rational exponents we have given meaning to exclude negative rational numbers. To complete the set of definitions, we define a -m/n. Definition of a m/n a -m/n = as long as a m/n is a nonzero real number. a m/n EXAMPLE 3 Write each expression with a positive exponent, and then simplify. a. 6-3/4 b /3 a. 6-3/4 = 6 3/4 = = 2 3 = 8 b /3 = /3 = = = 9

3 Section 7.2 Rational Exponents 42 3 Write each expression with a positive exponent; then simplify. a. 9-3/2 b /3 Helpful Hint If an expression contains a negative rational exponent, such as 9-3/2, you may want to first write the expression with a positive exponent and then interpret the rational exponent. Notice that the sign of the base is not affected by the sign of its exponent. For example, 9-3/2 = 9 = 3/2 292 = 3 27 Also, /3 = -272 = - /3 3 CONCEPT CHECK Which one is correct? a. -8 2/3 = 4 b. 8-2/3 = - 4 c. 8-2/3 = -4 d. -8-2/3 = Using Rules for Exponents to Simplify Expressions It can be shown that the properties of integer exponents hold for rational exponents. By using these properties and definitions, we can now simplify expressions that contain rational exponents. These rules are repeated here for review. Note: For the remainder of this chapter, we will assume that variables represent positive real numbers. Since this is so, we need not insert absolute value bars when we simplify even roots. Summary of Exponent Rules If m and n are rational numbers, and a, b, and c are numbers for which the expressions below exist, then Product rule for exponents: a m # a n = a m +n Power rule for exponents: a m 2 n = a m # n Power rules for products and quotients: ab2 n = a n b n and a a n c b = an c n, c 0 Quotient rule for exponents: am a n = am -n, a 0 Zero exponent: a 0 =, a 0 Negative exponent: a -n = a n, a 0 Answer to Concept Check: d EXAMPLE 4 Use properties of exponents to simplify.

EXAMPLE 6 Factor x -/2 from the expression 3x -/2-7x 5/2. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers. 3x -/2-7x 5/2 = x -/ x -/2 27x 6/2 2 = x -/2 3-7x 3 2 To check, multiply x -/2 3-7x 3 2 to see that the product is 3x -/2-7x 5/2. 6 Factor x -/5 from the expression 2x -/5-7x 4/5.

In electronics, the angular frequency of oscillations in a certain type of circuit is given by the expression LC2 -/2. Use radical notation to write this expression. 7.3 Simplifying Radical Expressions S Use the Product Rule for Radicals. 2 Use the Quotient Rule for Radicals. 3 Simplify Radicals. 4 Use the Distance and Midpoint Formulas. Using the Product Rule It is possible to simplify some radicals that do not evaluate to rational numbers. To do so, we use a product rule and a quotient rule for radicals. To discover the product rule, notice the following pattern. 29 # 24 = 3 # 2 = 6 29 # 4 = 236 = 6 Since both expressions simplify to 6, it is true that 29 # 24 = 29 # 4 This pattern suggests the following product rule for radicals. Product Rule for Radicals If 2 n a and 2 n b are real numbers, then 2 n a # 2 n b = 2 n ab Notice that the product rule is the relationship a /n # b /n = ab2 /n stated in radical notation.
