Question

(5+ (fourth root x)) divided by (fourth root x)

Answer 1

@bibby you there?

Answer 2

yeah, are we meant to simplify that?

Answer 3

just rationalize the denominator, then simplify if necessary

Answer 4

not sure how to rationalize the denominator. the best I can do is: \(\huge\frac{5+\sqrt[4]{x}}{\sqrt[4]{x}}\longrightarrow \frac{5}{\sqrt[4]{x}}+\frac{\sqrt[4]{x}}{\sqrt[4]{x}}\longrightarrow\frac{5}{\sqrt[4]{x}}+1\)

Answer 5

okay so I really just need to know if fourth root x times fourth root x equals x or square root x

Answer 6

@bibby?

Answer 7

you want to get the radical out of the denominator you have to multiply the top and bottom by
\[\sqrt[4]{x^3}\]
