Question

Trying to simplify this equation:
sqrt 125z^8 / sqrt 16z^4

Answer 1

\[\frac{ \sqrt{125}z^8 }{ \sqrt{16}z^4 } \]

Answer 2

The above equation is the proper format if it's easier to see this way. Been stuck trying to simplify.

Answer 3

Equation implies an equal sign.
2x + 5 = 15 is an equation.
You have an expression that needs to be simplified.

Answer 4

Do you know the rules of dividing powers?

Answer 5

\(\large \dfrac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m - n} \)

Answer 6

I'm familiar with it, but idk how it applies towards radical equations. I looked into the answer key, and it says the answer is \[\frac{ 5z^2\sqrt{5} }{ 4 }\]

Answer 7

That cannot possibly be the answer to the problem you posted. Is there an error in the problem?
Are the z's supposed to be inside the roots?

Answer 8

Is this th eproblem?

\(\Large \frac{ \sqrt{125z^8} }{ \sqrt{16z^4} }\)

Answer 9

correct
