Simplifying formulas » Negative and fractional powers  


In the following examples the answer has to be written as a power of a.

1a5 = a–5
fifth root(a) = a15

ninth root(a^2) = (a2)19 = a29
1acubic root(a) = 1a1 · a13 = 1a43 = a43

In the following example the answer has to be written without negative and fractional powers.
a34 · b–3 = 1a34 · 1b3 = 1fourth root(a^3) · 1b3
