Can somebody help me simplify this ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{16}}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{5+5+5+1}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I got the answer, wait a sec.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{1} }\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're almost there, but no

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{1} }\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the power 5 and the radical 5 get cancel out

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, each x^5 gives u a x

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\huge \sqrt[5]{x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{5} . x^{1} }\) becomes \(\huge x^3 ~\sqrt[5]{ x^{1} }\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if that makes some sense. . .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh, yea I got it, thanks :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

np.. u wlc :)
