Identify base and exponent: Identify the base and the exponent. In 9^(3/4), the base is 9 and the exponent is 3/4.Express 9 as power of 4: Express 9 as a term raised to the power of 4. Since 9 is a perfect square, we can write it as 3^2. However, we need to express it as a power of 4 for this problem. To do this, we can write 9 as (3^2) and then raise it to the power of (1/2) to get the fourth root. 9 = (3^2)^(1/2) = 3^(2*(1/2)) = 3^1 = 3 But we need to express it as a power of 4, so we need to take the square root of 3 to get the fourth root of 9. (3^(1/2))^2 = 3^(2*(1/2)) = 3^1 = 3 This is incorrect because we have not expressed 9 as a power of 4. We need to find a way to express 9 as a power that involves the fourth root.

9^{\frac{3}{4}}

Identify base and exponent: Identify the base and the exponent. $\newline$ In $9^{3/4}$ , the base is $9$ and the exponent is $3/4$ .
Express $9$ as power of $4$ : Express $9$ as a term raised to the power of $4$ . Since $9$ is a perfect square, we can write it as $3^2$ . However, we need to express it as a power of $4$ for this problem. To do this, we can write $9$ as $(3^2)$ and then raise it to the power of $(1/2)$ to get the fourth root. $9 = (3^2)^{(1/2)} = 3^{2*(1/2)} = 3^1 = 3$ But we need to express it as a power of $4$ , so we need to take the square root of $3$ to get the fourth root of $9$ . $(3^{(1/2)})^2 = 3^{2*(1/2)} = 3^1 = 3$ This is incorrect because we have not expressed $9$ as a power of $4$ . We need to find a way to express $9$ as a power that involves the fourth root.
