using the rule flower power, which states that “the root goes on the bottom”, it means that the square or cube root of the radical goes on the bottom of the fraction in exponent form. when there is a fraction as an exponent, it also tells you that whatever number is the denominator, is the number representing the root on the radical.

This week I found a connection between the 2 units we learned about. involving radicals, and the term, “flower power” which states that the root goes on the bottom. Seeing radicals in two different units and being used in many ways makes me see that you can use math in many different aspects. Exponents have their own rules, radicals can be mixed or whole, and radicals can even have their own fraction as the exponent. Below is an example of “flower power”, and the fractions as an exponent in a radical.
