Question

Rewrite the radical expression as an exponential expression, and then simplify.

StartRoot 121 EndRoot = one-half (121) = 60.5
StartRoot 121 EndRoot = 121 squared = 14,641
StartRoot 121 EndRoot = 121 Superscript one-half Baseline = 11
StartRoot 121 EndRoot = 121 Superscript one-half Baseline = 60.5

Answer 1

The radical expression written as an exponent, and simplified, is given by:

$\sqrt{121} = (121)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 11$.

How to transform an exponent to a power?

It happens according to the following rule:

$a^{\frac{n}{m}} = \sqrt[m]{a^n}$

The inverse is also valid, hence, in this problem, the expression written as an exponent and simplified is given by:

$\sqrt{121} = (121)^{\frac{1}{2}} = 11$.
