What is the value of the exponential expression below? 64 raised to 1/2
so this exponent of 1/2 mean square-root of 64 what equalÂ
64^(1/2) = (8^2)^(1/2) = 8^((1/2)*2) = 8^(2/2) = 8
hope helped
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the value of the given exponential expression \(64^{\frac{1}{2}\).
Using exponent property \(a^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}\), we can write our given expression as:
\(64^{\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt[2]{64^1}\)
\(64^{\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt[2]{64}\)
We can rewrite \(64\text{ as }8^2\).
\(64^{\frac{1}{2}=\sqrt[2]{8^2}\)
Using exponent property \(\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a\), we can write our given expression as:
\(64^{\frac{1}{2}}=8\)
Therefore, the value of our given exponential expression is 8.
