${(\sqrt{x})}^{2}$

Step 1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{x}$ as $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

${(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$

Step 2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$x^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$x^{\frac{2}{2}}$

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
