standard_description: Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 5^(1/3) to be the cube root of 5 because we want (5^(1/3))^(3) = 5(^(1/3))^(3) to hold, so (5^(1/3))^(3) must equal 5.
problem_activity: Find the roots by factoring each of the following quadratic equations.
Additionally, for each equation, identify:
If the function has symmetry around the
y
-axis
If the root is a double root and the same as the vertex
The
y
-intercept
The vertex
a.
