Question

How do you change `(x^3y)^(1/4)` into radical form?

Answer 1

An exponent which is a fraction is the same as as a root.
`root(4)(x^3y)`

Explanation:

An exponent which is a fraction is the same as as a root.
By definition:

`x^(1/2) = sqrtx`

The exponent of `1/4` is the same as the fourth root.

`root(4)(x^3y)`
