\[( ^{3} \sqrt{x} ^{4} ) ^{5}\]

Can you describe how to transform that into an expression with a rational exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you have radicals, their magnitude goes on the denominator of a rational exponent; when you raise one exponent to another you multiply. So this can be rewritten as (x^(4/3))^5, multiply 4/5 by 5 and that's your final rational exponent.

Thank you

You said multiply 4/5 by 5 but you wrote 4/3 was that a typo or are you supposed to multiply 4/5 by 5?
