Title: How does this power rule work in a math equation? Post by: rjavier1 on Sep 24, 2012 Right now i am on the last step of solving an equation it is:
t^1/3 = 1 Now i understand if it is a t^2, it would be like square rooting the other side, but how does it work when you are doing the inverse of squaring to a fraction, for this example one-third.? Title: How does this power rule work in a math equation? Post by: bugaian on Sep 24, 2012 you amplify everything by 3 so it will be (t^1/3)^3=1^3 so t (1/3*3)=1 hence t^1=1 so t=1
Title: How does this power rule work in a math equation? Post by: tommyo0729 on Sep 24, 2012 t^1/3*t^1/3=t^2/3
t^2/3*t^1/3=t^1 t*t*t=1 Title: How does this power rule work in a math equation? Post by: firas kilani on Sep 24, 2012 The inverse of powering to a fraction is powering to the inverse of the fraction.
In this case that is the third power (t^(1/3)^3 = 1^3 t = 1^3 = 1 |
