5sqrt x^10
simplify using rational exponents.

Question

anonymous · Answer

sqrt(something) = (something)^(1/2) so u can write

5 (x^(1/2))^10 which is easy...

anonymous · Answer

$$\sqrt[5]{x ^{10}?}$$

anonymous · Answer

This is how the problem should look minus the ?

anonymous · Answer

Oh the 5th root, well how was I supposed to know that...?

Anyway, same thing:

nthrt(something) = (something)^(1/n) so u can write  (x^(1/5))^10 which is easy...

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

ok I am really sorry , but is my answer right?  I am confused

anonymous · Answer

To simplify powers like (a^b)^c you multiply the exponents so a^(bc).

In this case, x^(10*1/5) = x^2
