How in the world am I suppose to simplify this??

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

\[\frac{ \sqrt[4]{400} }{ \sqrt[4]{5} }\]

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

well you can rewrite it as \[^4\sqrt{400}\div ^4\sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Would the 4 simplify?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \sqrt[4]{400} \div \sqrt[4]{5} = \sqrt[4]{400 \div 5} }\)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Would it be \[2\sqrt{5}\] ??

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \sqrt[4]{400} \div \sqrt[4]{5} = \sqrt[4]{80} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \sqrt[4]{80} =\sqrt[4]{2^4\times 5} }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\LARGE\color{blue}{ 2\sqrt[4]{ 5} }\)

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

How come it won't be only \[2\sqrt{5}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

we started simplifying the 4th root, not just a square root, right ?

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Yes..

OpenStudy (yanasidlinskiy):

Oh, wait. Never mind. Wow. What a blonde moment. Hahahha, lol. Anyways thanx to both of you!!:D I really appreciate your help!!:D
