OpenStudy (mertsj):

Think of it like this: \[\sqrt[4]{3^4(x^5)^4(y^2)^4}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can go further than that @MsJasmine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not good at math at all

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know that raising to the fourth power is the inverse of extracting the fourth root?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And that those two operations "undo" each other?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you divide the index of the radical (the little number outside the radical) by the exponents of the numbers on the inside and that should make the radical disappear

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ok. Chinenyeogueri will help you now.
