Question

6 to the exponent -1/2

Answers

GPT-4o mini
To calculate \( 6^{-1/2} \), we can use the properties of exponents. The expression \( a^{-n} \) is equal to \( \frac{1}{a^n} \), so:

\[
6^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{6^{1/2}}
\]

Next, \( 6^{1/2} \) is the square root of 6:

\[
6^{1/2} = \sqrt{6}
\]

Thus, we can rewrite \( 6^{-1/2} \) as:

\[
6^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}
\]

If you want a numerical approximation, \( \sqrt{6} \) is approximately 2.45, so:

\[
6^{-1/2} \approx \frac{1}{2.45} \approx 0.408
\]

In summary:

\[
6^{-1/2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} \approx 0.408
\]
