Rational Exponents


In the palms of math, where numbers dance,
Rational exponents take their chance.
A fraction in the power’s place,
Simplifies the number's face.
 
To the power of a half, or maybe a third,
Roots and powers, their voices are heard
x^(m/n) is the name of the game,
Roots and exponents, one are all the same.
 
Take 8^(2/3) and see the light,
Cube root of 8 is even to 2, then square it right.
First find the root then raise the power
Then square it, \(2^2 = 4\), it’s true.
