To Alexis:
1/3 IS a rational number!

"what would be rational for this expression?"
√5√7√r

I suppose you mean this:
(√5)*(√7)*(√r)

If yes, then it is

= 5^(1/2) * 7^(1/2) * r^(1/2)

= (5 * 7 * r)^(1/2)

= (35 r)^(1/2)

(square root corresponds to rational exponent 1/2)

Answer 2

The use of rational numbers as exponents. A rational exponent represents both an integer exponent and an nth root. The root is found in the denominator (like a tree, the root is at the bottom), and the integer exponent is found in the numerator.

Answer 3

Rational exponents are exponents that contain rational numbers. Rational numbers are those that are finite (aren't repeating numbers in other words.). Ex. 3 is a rational number but 1/3 isn't because it's .3333333333 and it never ends.

Answer 4

the quantity it is rooted via interior the denominator, and the quantity it is potential interior the numerator ex: 4?5^6 = 5 ^ 6/4 3?9 = 9 ^ a million/3 so quad root of 27 could be 27 ^ a million/4 and ?14 = 14 ^ a million/2 sorry if this became complicated, im in basic terms a scholar

Answer 5

sorry my field is a long distance from what you've asked maybe something from the field of MEDICINE, I will be able to answer....Basic Maths...I have not touched it in the last...errr....mmmm....17 years...
