algebra precalculus - Why is xp/q ill-defined for $x


This is probably a duplicate but I can't find, if you do let me know and I will delete.





Why is xp/q ill-defined for x<0.



I can see that it is, (1)1/3(1)2/6, but why?



I define xp/q=qxp=(qx)p.



Also how does this affect calculus, in examples what about,




013xdx    ?=    01x1/3dx



ddx(3x) at x=1.
