Question 1.
Complete the following table.

Answer:

Explanation of Table

Generally we can express two meaning of the number a^m/n.

a^m/n = (a^m)^1/n means ‘n^th root of m^th powerof a’.

a^m/n = ()^m means ‘m^th power of n^th root of a’.

(225³)^1/2 means ‘Cube of square root of 225’.

(225^1/2)³ means ‘Square root of cube of 225’.

(2) (45)^4/5

(45⁴)^1/5 means ‘Fourth power of fifth root of 45’.

(45^1/5)⁴ means ‘Fifth root of fourth power of 45’.

(3) (81)^6/7

(81⁶)^1/7 means ‘Sixth power of seventh root of 81’.

(81^1/7)⁶ means ‘Seventh root of sixth power of 81’.

(4) (100)^4/10

(100⁴)^1/10 means ‘Fourth power of tenth root of 100’.

(100^1/10)⁴ means ‘Tenth root of fourth power of 100’.

(5) (21)^3/7

(21³)^1/7 means ‘Cube of seventh root of 21’.

()³ means ‘Seventh root of cube of 21’.

Question 2.
Write the following number in the form of rational indices.

(1) Square root of 5^th power of 121.

(2) Cube of 4^th root of 324.

(3) 5^th root of square of 264.

(4) Cube of cube root of 3.

Answer:
we know that ‘n^th root of m^th powerof a’ is expressed as (a^m)^1/n

and ‘m^th power of n^th root of a’ is expressed as ()^m.

(1) Square root of 5^th power of 121.

We know that,

‘n^th root of m^th powerof a’ is expressed as (a^m)^1/n

So, ‘Square root of 5^th power of 121’ is expressed as (121⁵)^1/2 or (121)^5/2.

(2) Cube of 4^th root of 324.

We know that,

‘n^th root of m^th powerof a’ is expressed as (a^m)^1/n

So, ‘Cube of 4^th root of 324’ is written as (324^1/4)³ or (324)^3/4.

(3) 5^th root of square of 264.

We know that,

‘n^th root of m^th powerof a’ is expressed as (a^m)^1/n
