MTH-100 Lecture Notes - The Roots, Nth Root
Document Summary
There are times in mathematics when radical notation can be difficult to manage. 2x , i want to know what number when multiplied by itself gives me x, since there are 2. This is the same concept as 25 . We say 25 5= since 52 = 25. So, if i see there are three thirds in a whole. 3x i want to know what number when multiplied by itself 3 times gives me x, since. This is the same concept as 3 64 . 364 is the same as 3 64 . in fact, for any non-negative x. Recall the power rule for exponents ( m x. Find a number that when repeated 3 times gives 64, then square that result. Square 64, then find a number that when repeated 3 times gives that result. 2 in general for any x, m nx n m x n x m.
