Question

How do you evaluate `(16^{\frac{1}{2}})^3`?

Answer 1

You would multiply the exponents.

Explanation:

Because of the power of a power property, you would multiply `1/2` and 3, giving you `3/2`.
Now, you have `16^(2/3)` or the cube root of `16^2`. This equals to about 6.3496 if you plug it into a calculator.
