Question

Express 169x^5 using rational exponents

The 169x^5 is in a radical just can't type it lol

Answer 1

answer D is right one just took the test\

Explanation:

Answer 2

`13x^{(5)/(2)}`

Explanation:

This asks us to simplify
`√(169x^5)` into exponential form.

We will use a simple law of radicals in this :
`\sqrt[n]{x^a}=x^{(a)/(n)}`

Now evaluating our problem:

`√(169x^5)\\=√(169) √(x^5) \\=13*\sqrt[2]{x^5}\\ =13*x^{(5)/(2)}\\=13x^{(5)/(2)}`
