Rewrite expressions with rational exponents

What you'll learn

1. Convert a radical expression to exponential notation: ⁿ√(a^m) = a^(m/n)
2. Convert a rational exponent expression to radical notation: a^(m/n) = ⁿ√(a^m) = (ⁿ√a)^m
3. Simplify expressions involving rational exponents using the product rule, quotient rule, and power rule
4. Choose between radical and exponential form based on which is more efficient for a given computation
5. Simplify products and quotients of radical expressions by converting to exponential form and applying exponent rules
