Explanation:

We can write this in radical form as:

(9/16)^(1/2) = sqrt(9/16)(916)12=916

We can then use this rule for radicals to rewrite the expression:

sqrt(a/b) = sqrt(a)/sqrt(b)ab=ab

sqrt(9/16) = sqrt(9)/sqrt(16) = +-3/4916=916=±34

It's simple

Explanation:

Given (9/16)^(1/2)->(9^(1/2)/16^(1/2))->+-3/4(916)12(9121612)±34
So Answer is color(blue)(+-3/4)±34.
