Decimal Exponents
Decimal Exponents are nothing but the other way of representing the fraction exponents. If any exponent is given in the decimal form then we first change it into fraction form and then easily solve for the fraction form.
This can be understood by the example added below,
Example: Simplify 41.5
Solution:
= 41.5 (As, 1.5 = 3/2)
= 43/2
= (41/2)3
= 23 = 8
Exponents
Exponents are the basic concept used in mathematics that are helpful in solving and understanding very large numbers. Suppose we have to simplify a very large number such as 10 multiplied by itself 10 times then the number is represented as, 1010 which is a very easy way of representing the numbers. Exponent is also called the power of a number. The exponent of the number can be integers or fractions, The fraction exponent is also called the radical.
