Hi guys
I was wondering after reading some other stuff on the web..
How much is [itex](-1)^{2/6}[/itex]
It is [itex](-1)^{\frac{2}{6}}=(-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{-1}=-1[/itex]
OR
[itex](-1)^{\frac{2}{6}}=\sqrt[6]{(-1)^2}=\sqrt[6]{1}=1[/itex]
I'm really confused with this...
Any suggestions?
Thanks
João
