\[\sqrt[5]{x^4}\] * \[\sqrt[5]{x^4}\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Rewrite the square root as a power.

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

x^5/4?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Remember, \[\large \sqrt[n]{x^m} = x^{m/n}\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So in this case, you have n = 5 and m = 4. According to that rule, you can rewrite it as \(x^{4/5}\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Now you're simply multiplying \(\large x^{4/5} \cdot x^{4/5}\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Also remember, \(x^m \cdot x^m = x^{m+m}\)

OpenStudy (barrelracing):

so what is the answer? a)\[\sqrt{x}\] b) x^1/3 c)x\[\sqrt[5]{x^3}\] d) x16/25
