Question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the (5-2x)^1/4 ?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

Into radical form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

kk, The denominator becomes the root, the 1 becomes the exponent ( anything to the 1 power will be the same) So, 4throot5-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I know that part, but what would it equal to

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

What do you mean what would that be equal to?

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

That would be equal to x = 5/2 ._. simple xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so (x+5) ^1/2 = x+5, what is (5-2x)^1/4

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

4√5-2x = x = 5/2 Is that what you meant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're confusing me :(

OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):

With? You're confusing me D: What do you mean what is (5-2x)^1/4 I solved it and got 5/2
