Question

would 5sqrtx^25 be x^5?

Answer 1

Yes, \[\large \sqrt[5]{x^{25}}=x^5\]

Answer 2

This is because \[\large \sqrt[5]{x^{25}}=(x^{25})^{\frac{1}{5}}=x^{\frac{25}{5}}=x^5\]

Answer 3

thank you! I just may be finally getting it! :)

Answer 4

that's great

Answer 5

even without using rational exponents you can say "5 goes in to 25 5 times"

Answer 6

yes that's how I came up with it

Answer 7

I dont think so. coz 5sqrt(x^25) = 5(x^(25/2)) and there is not a clear way (for me) to simplify it
