A fractional index is simply an exponent in the form of a fraction so instead of writing something square-rooted, you would write the number to the power of a fraction e.g

√49 = 49^(1/2)

How do you work out negative fractional indices?

A number with a negative index is simply the reciprocal of the same number with a positive index. So, x-a = 1/xa Next a number to a fractional index, (a/b) is the ath power of the bth root of the number. Equivalently, it is the bth root of the ath power of the number. That is, xa/b = b√(xa) = (b√x)a. Combining these results: x-a/b = 1/(xa/b) = 1/[b√(xa)]
