Radical Exponents – Part 2

MAFS.912.N-RN.1.1 Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational

exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to

those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational

exponents. For example, we define 5

1

3 to be the cube root of 5 because

we want (5

1

3 ) 3 =

5 (

1

3)3, to hold, so

(51

3 ) 3 must equal 5.

MAFS.912.S-CP.1.3 Understand the conditional

probability of 𝐴 given 𝐵 as 𝑃(𝐴 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵)/𝑃(𝐵),
