m^2.4 = m^(12/5) = root(5)(M^12)m2.4=m125=5M12

Explanation:

Rational exponent, like m^(P/Q)mPQ mean, by definition, root(Q)(m^P)QmP

Therefore,
m^2.4 = m^(12/5) = root(5)(M^12)m2.4=m125=5M12

The reason for the above definition of rational exponent can be found in the lecture found at menu items "Algebra" - "Exponential Functions" on UNIZOR.COM
