You mean simplify right?

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

4x^(5/2)

Answer 5

\[\sqrt{16x^5} \\ \\ \text{Since 16 and x is multiplying} \\ \\ \sqrt{16}\sqrt{x^5} \\ \\ 4\sqrt{x^5}\]

Answer 6

Sam, I was taught that you could simplify the X too down to 4x^2\[\sqrt{x}\]

Answer 7

So what do you do with the x?

Answer 8

No you can't simplify that, because \[4\sqrt{x^5}=4x^{\frac{5}{2}}\]
