Evaluate nth Root and Use Rational Exponents Notes 1 – Section 6.1
Essential Learnings • Students will understand and be able to apply the rules of exponents and number properties of algebraic expressions to solve problems.
Real nth Roots of a • Let n be an integer (n>1) and let a be a real number. If n is an even integer: a<0 No real nth roots a=0 One real nth root a>0 Two real nth roots
Real nth Roots of a • Let n be an integer (n>1) and let a be a real number. If n is an odd integer: a<0 One real nth roots a=0 One real nth root a>0 One real nth roots
