OBJECTIVE
Simplify expressions with rational
exponents
Apply the laws involving integral
exponents to rational exponents.
KEY CONCEPT
The laws of exponents you’ve learned in the
previous lesson may be used in simplifying
expressions with rational exponents. We simply
use the exponent properties but with fractions as
the exponent. Let and be rational numbers and
and be real numbers, variables or algebraic
expressions. m and n be rational numbers and x and y be real numbers, variables or
algebraic expressions.
