Which of the following is the radical expression of a^5/7? 5√a^7 7√a^5 5a^7 7a^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Either A or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the problem:\[a ^{(5/7)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or\[\frac{ a ^{5} }{ 7 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: answer C is not in radical form...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure how to go about this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The numerator of the exponent is just like a normal exponent... but the denominator means you could rewrite it as "the seventh root of (a to the fifth power)"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It looks like answer B.... assuming that 7 in front actually means "7th root" and not "7 multiplied by" Same confusion for me as on that other one...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I said that in my other question posted....I was right! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My apologies, but it made sense to me. I'll be clearer.....!
