Question

Is x^2=x^1/2 always true

Answer 1

Answer:

$x^2=x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ only true when x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

for $base^{exponent}$, where

1. the base of the LHS (left hand side) = the base of RHS (right hand side)
2. the exponent of the LHS ≠ the exponent of RHS

Then, there is only 1 possibility → base = 1

Therefore $x^2=x^{\frac{1}{2} }$ only true when x = 1
