Why is sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)? What Ms. Michael didn't show you #SHORTS

Показать описание
In this #SHORTS video, we prove that the sqrt(x) is equal to x^(1/2) using the basic properties of exponentials, i.e., index laws. I remember asking this question when I was first learning about exponential functions in high school and was disappointed at the fact that my teach had no idea.

I dont completely agree with whats shown is this video, i believe a better and more formal definition of it is "x^(1/2) is equal to all distinct numbers K such that K^2 equals X". Which always has as solutions √x, -√x which means that x^(1/2) ≝ ±√x
