√20x^13y^5 ------------ 5xy^7
(he √ extends over the y^5, too
@twicker ?
√(20/5) = 2 √x^(13-1) = √x^12= √x^4.√x^3 = (x^2)(√x^3) √y^(5--7) = √y^12= √y^4.√y^3 = (y^2)(√y^3) = 2(xy)^2.√((xy)^3))
\(\Huge\color{blue}{ \sf \sqrt{ \frac{ 20x^{13}y^5 }{ 5xy^7 } } }\) try to cancel some exponents first.
so then it becomes √20x^12/√5y^2?

i dont get it @twicker
First step is to split the equation. to values that are possible to find the squareroot easily So, the first part if have taken 20/5 = 4. Then √4 is 2. Set that aside and go to the next part which is the x √x^(13-1) = √x^12= √x^4.√x^3 = (x^2)(√x^3) The last part √y^(5--7) = √y^12= √y^4.√y^3 = (y^2)(√y^3) Combine all now: 2.(x^2)(√x^3).(y^2)(√y^3) =2(xy)^2.√((xy)^3)) read: 2 multiplies by the square of xy multiplied by the squareroot of the cube of xy
can you draw it out?
Is this the answer correct because if it is not, there's no point repeating the wrong answer. But if it right, I'll try drawing it out
i just cant picture the 2(xy)^2.√((xy))^3
@twicker
a^x . b^x = (ab)^x eg: 2^2 * 3^2 = 4*9= 36= (2*3)^2= 36
