Answer 5

ok...s o you can simplify this to

\[\frac{\sqrt[5]{x^5}}{\sqrt[5]{2y^3}}\]

does that make sense...

Answer 6

if you want to write rewrite the denominator

you can use fractional indices

\[\frac{\sqrt[5]{x^5}}{(2y^3)^{\frac{1}{5}}}\]

Answer 7

simplify the numerator and re-write the denonimator with a negative index
