Question

How do you simplify `3^(1/3)`?

Answer 1

`3^(1/3)`=`root(3)3`

A fractional exponent means to take the nth root. `x^(1/n)` = the nth root of `x`, which would be `root(n)x`. A fractional exponent of 1/3 means to take the cube root.

A fractional exponent of 1/2 means to take the square root, and a fractional exponent of 1/4 means to take the 4th root and so on.
