OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[4]{16x^5y^9}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is sqrt_4_(16)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good so now 2 is out of the sq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^5 you could rewrite is x*x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i pull an x and y^2 our or do they stay under the sqrt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^9 = y^8 * y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would end up as \[2xy^2\sqrt{xy}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2xy^2 srqt(xy)

OpenStudy (er.mohd.amir):

16=2^4 x^5=x^4*x y^9=y^4*y^4*y so 2* x* y*y in sqrt(x*y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what I thought it just didn't seem right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you
