How are the laws of rational exponents similar to laws of integer exponents?
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
Are exponents rational numbers?
You can use any number - rational or otherwise - as an exponent.
What is the difference between a radical and rational exponents?
In terms of mathematical concepts, there is no difference at all. In practical terms, some rational exponents or rational number will result in rational answers while radical exponent won't. But that is hardly a significant difference.
Is there more than one rational equation that uses exponents?
YES
What are rational exponents and how are they related to integer exponents?
Rational exponents are exponents that are fractions or decimals. They are related to integer exponents because they represent a different way of expressing the same mathematical operation. For example, an integer exponent of 2 represents squaring a number, while a rational exponent of 1/2 represents taking the square root of a number.
Real life example of rational exponents?
A rational exponent is an exponent in the form of a fraction. Many financial formulas use rational exponents. Compound interest is formula that uses rational exponents.
