If the expression is in exponential form, write it in radical form and evaluate if possible. If it is in radical form, write it in exponential form. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers. p5/4

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the given expression: \(p^{5/4}\). This is in exponential form with a fractional exponent.
Recall the rule that a fractional exponent \(a^{m/n}\) can be rewritten in radical form as \(\sqrt[n]{a^m}\) or equivalently \(\left(\sqrt[n]{a}\right)^m\).
Apply this rule to rewrite \(p^{5/4}\) as \(\sqrt[4]{p^5}\), which means the fourth root of \(p\) raised to the fifth power.
Alternatively, express \(p^{5/4}\) as \(\left(\sqrt[4]{p}\right)^5\), which means the fourth root of \(p\) raised to the fifth power.
Since \(p\) is a positive real number, this radical form is valid. Evaluating further depends on the value of \(p\), so leave the expression in radical form as \(\sqrt[4]{p^5}\) or \(\left(\sqrt[4]{p}\right)^5\).

Exponential and Radical Forms

Exponential form expresses numbers using exponents, such as p^(5/4). Radical form uses roots, like the fourth root of p raised to the fifth power. Understanding how to convert between these forms is essential for simplifying and evaluating expressions.

Fractional Exponents

A fractional exponent a/b means taking the b-th root of the base raised to the a-th power, i.e., p^(a/b) = (b√p)^a. This concept links exponents and radicals, allowing expressions to be rewritten and evaluated in different forms.

Properties of Positive Real Numbers

Assuming variables represent positive real numbers ensures that roots and exponents are well-defined and real-valued. This avoids complications with negative bases or complex numbers when converting between radical and exponential forms.
