Enter Rational Exponent Term

Simplify Term 1

4^1/2

Simplify the rational exponent:

41/2

Analyze Fractional Exponent:

ab/c = (ca)b

Take the cth root of a
Then raise that to the power of b

In this case, a = 4, b = 1, and c = 2

Evaluate the 2 root of 4:

4 = 2 since 22 = 4  

Raise this value to the power of 1:

Therefore, we can write 41/2 = 2

Simplify Term 2

4^5/2

Simplify the rational exponent:

45/2

Analyze Fractional Exponent:

ab/c = (ca)b

Take the cth root of a
Then raise that to the power of b

In this case, a = 4, b = 5, and c = 2

Evaluate the 2 root of 4:

4 = 2 since 22 = 4  

Raise this value to the power of 5:

Therefore, we can write 45/2 = 32

Finalize our product of rational exponents:

41/2 x 45/2 = 2 x 32

41/2 x 45/2 = 64

Final Answer

45/2 = 32
