Question

problem below (working with radicals)

Answer 1

\[\sqrt[4]{(5a)^4}\]

Answer 2

\[\sqrt[4]{x^4}=x\]

Answer 3

and so \(\sqrt[4]{(5a)^4}=5a\)

Answer 4

ok im confused how did you get the first one? and on the second one do you do nothing to the 5?

Answer 5

sorry, i didn't mean to confuse you
i just wrote the first one to mean that the fourth root of "anything" to the power of four is "anything"

Answer 6

so the fourth root of five times \(a\) to the power of four is \(5a\)

Answer 7

maybe think of it as this way
