I have function $L^2=kL$
If I solve for L, I divide both sides by L and get L=K.
I now have another function $L^A=kL$. To solve for L, I raise both sides to 1/A, and get $L=\left(KL\right)^{\frac{1}{A}}$.
From the first function, A=2. If I plug A=2 into the second function, I don't get the same answer.
Question: I don't understand why in the first function I can't raise both sides to 1/2, but in the second function I CAN raise both sides to 1/A.
Thanks in advance!
