Question

Please help

Answer 1

If x is a positive number, then \[\sqrt[5]{x}\div x ^{1/5}\]

Answer 2

Equals what?

Answer 3

\(\sqrt[5]{x}= x ^{1/5}\)

does that help?

Answer 4

no sorry @sillybilly123
answer choices

a) x^5
b) 1/5x
c) 1
d) 1/5

Answer 5

read it again:

\(\sqrt[5]{x} \color{red}{=} x ^{1/5}\)

Answer 6

but it's not one of the answer choices

Answer 7

i'm NOT feeding you an answer. but i am telling you that the numerator and denominator are exactly the same

go figure if you wanna get smarter

Answer 8

OH wait i see what you mean now @sillybilly123

Answer 9

cool!!!!

Answer 10

i plugged in 1 for the "x" in both equations and got 1 as the answer

Answer 11

i'm trying to tell you that:

\(\sqrt[5]{x}\div x ^{1/5}\) is the same as \(x ^{1/5}\div x ^{1/5}\) and \( \sqrt[5]{x} \div \sqrt[5]{x}\) because \(\sqrt[5]{x} \color{red}{=} x ^{1/5}\) by definition

you have merely solved this for x =1.

so solve \(x + 1 = 2x\). Well that works for \(x = 1\) so it must always be true. NOT :( let x = 7

Answer 12

if i'm not making sense to you, vap, my apologies; and we need Special Agent Voca on this one.

I am a terrible teacher :(

Answer 13

so you're saying

x + 1 = 2x
-2x -2x

-x +1 = 0
-1 -1
-x = -1
divide both sides by -1 and x = 1, Right?

Answer 14

yes. it works if x = 1

does it work if x = 37 ?!

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

do you get that \(\sqrt[5]{x} = x ^{1/5}\) ??

they are the same thing

Answer 17

just different symbology

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

brill!
