M.A1HS.11
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. (e.g., 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.)
