OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
What is 25 in prime factors?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{5\sqrt{5}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
= \[\sqrt{5} \times \sqrt{5} ?\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
nope, you can't do that, the large radical is over the √5 too

but you can have \[\sqrt{5\sqrt 5}=\sqrt5\sqrt{\sqrt5}\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
If you convert those radicals into indices
\[\large \sqrt[q]x^p= x^{p/q}\]
\[\sqrt{\sqrt5}=({5^{1/2}})^{1/2}=5^{\tfrac12\times\tfrac12}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So \[\sqrt{5\sqrt{5}} = 5_{4}^{1} ?\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yes, so what is
\[\sqrt5\sqrt{5\sqrt5}\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
remember that \[\large a^na^m=a^{n+m}\]

\[\sqrt[?]{25} = 5_{8}^{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
* \[\sqrt[8]{25}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So \[5_{4}^{1} / 5_{8}^{2} = ?\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
wait a minute,

\[\sqrt{5\sqrt 5}=\sqrt5\sqrt{\sqrt5}\]
\[\qquad\qquad\qquad\sqrt{\sqrt{5}} = 5^{1/4}\]
\[\sqrt{5\sqrt 5}=\sqrt5\times 5^{1/4}\\ \qquad\quad=\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
\[\sqrt[8]{25} = 5^{2/8}\] is right by the way.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt{5} \times 5_{4}^{1} = ?\]
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
yeah so use \[\sqrt 5=\sqrt[2] 5 =5^{1/2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so \[\sqrt{5\sqrt{5}} = 5_{4}^{1} rigth?\]

2/8 *
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
nope \[\sqrt{5\sqrt{5}} = (5\times(5)^{1/2})^{1/2}=\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
( 5 x \[5_{4}^{1}\] ) =
