Need help with rationalization of the denominator.
\[\sqrt[4]{16/25x ^{7}}\]
assume all variables represent positive real numbers.
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{16}{25x^7}} }\) this is the question?
\[\sqrt[4]{\frac{ 16 }{ 25x ^{7} }}\]
thats better
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{\frac{16}{25x^7}} }\)
yes
well, from that it is true that: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{\frac{16}{25x^7}}~~~\Rightarrow ~~~\frac{\sqrt[4]{16}}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}} }\)
then \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{16}}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}}~~~\Rightarrow ~~~\frac{\sqrt[4]{16}\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}}}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}} } }\)
see what I am doing ?
yes, im just writing it down lol
so now your denominator is a perfect root
and you know that \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{25}=\sqrt[2]{5} =\sqrt{5}}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{16}=\sqrt[2]{2^4} =2}\)
go for it...
alrighty one momnet
\[\frac{ 16\sqrt[3]{5x} }{ 2x }\]
@SolomonZelman
i think its incorrect... not sure
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{16}\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}}}{\sqrt[4]{625x^{8}}} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{16}\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}}}{5x^2} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}}}{5x^2} }\)
to be even more simple way....
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\color{red}{\times\sqrt[4]{25x}}}{5x^2} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times\sqrt[4]{25}\sqrt[4]{x} }{5x^2} }\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times\sqrt[2]{5}\sqrt[4]{x} }{5x^2} }\) same as, \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times\sqrt[]{5}\sqrt[4]{x} }{5x^2} }\)
\[\frac{ 2\sqrt[4]{5x} }{ 5x ^{2} }\]
25 in the 4th root on the top. it is 4th root (25x)
ok
I'm not sure how to structure the answer, this is the only question I don't know how to do...
you still there
@SolomonZelman
@sleepyjess need help structuring the answer..
??????????????????????
you want the steps?
yes, man I am having some serious connection issues... Sorry about that, I just need it step by step for future reference if thats alright.
\(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \sqrt[4]{\frac{16}{25x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{16}}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{2^4}}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2}{\sqrt[4]{25x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2}{\sqrt[4]{25}\sqrt[4]{x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times \sqrt[4]{25}}{\sqrt[4]{25}\times \sqrt[4]{25}\sqrt[4]{x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times \sqrt[4]{25}}{5\sqrt[4]{x^7}} }}\) \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \large\color{black}{ \displaystyle \frac{2\times \sqrt[4]{25}\times \sqrt[4]{x}}{5\sqrt[4]{x^7}\times \sqrt[4]{x}} }}\) and then last step
\[\frac{ 2\sqrt[4]{25x} }{ 5x ^{2} }\]
is that right or do I need to square root the 25?
@SolomonZelman
you there ?
yes
I had to depart (cooking purposes)
ah ok :) Anyway is that last question correct?
i mean my answer
\frac{ 2\sqrt[4]{25x} }{ 5x ^{2} }
\[\frac{ 2\sqrt[4]{25x} }{ 5x ^{2} } \]
there it is
@SolomonZelman
nvm I got it :)
