Rational Exponent Form Root Form Simplify
81−−√4
12112

1 answer

To complete the table, we will convert between rational exponent form and root form, and then simplify the expressions.

Table:

| Rational Exponent Form | Root Form | Simplify | |------------------------|-----------|-----------------| | \( 81^{\frac{1}{4}} \) | \( \sqrt[4]{81} \) | \( 3 \) | | \( 121^{\frac{1}{2}} \) | \( \sqrt{121} \) | \( 11 \) |

Explanation:

  1. For \( 81^{\frac{1}{4}} \):

    • Root Form: The fourth root of 81 can be written as \( \sqrt[4]{81} \).
    • Simplification: Since \( 81 = 3^4 \), we find \( \sqrt[4]{81} = \sqrt[4]{3^4} = 3 \).
  2. For \( 121^{\frac{1}{2}} \):

    • Root Form: This is the square root of 121, which can be written as \( \sqrt{121} \).
    • Simplification: Since \( 121 = 11^2 \), we have \( \sqrt{121} = 11 \).

Thus, the table is complete with both the rational exponent forms, root forms, and their simplifications filled in.
