Question

What is the 5th square root of x^16?

Answer 1

so what is a fifth root as an exponent?

Answer 2

I'm not sure, I don't really understand the question. I've looked up fifth roots but there was nothing like this.

Answer 3

It's in the place of an exponent.

Answer 4

not quite, so the thing you have to realize is that any root can be written as an eponent

Answer 5

instead of a radical. Do you know how to do that for a square root? Can you tell me the corresponding exponent?
