Answer:

Explanation:

Keep in mind that we want to eliminate the radical from the denominator. Note that the denominator is equal to

8^(1/4) = (2^3)^(1/4).

If we multiply the entire given expression by 2^(1/4), we get:

2^(1/4) √10

----------- * -----------------

2^(1/4) (2^3)^(1/4)

or

2^(1/4) √10 2^(1/4) · √10 2^(1/4) · 10^(2/4)

----------- * ----------------- = ---------------------- = ---------------------------

2^(1/4) (2^3)^(1/4) 2^(1/4 + 3/4) 2

2^(1/4) · 10^(2/4) 2^(1/4) · 100^(1/4) 200^(1/4)

= ------------------------------ = -------------------------- = --------------------

2 2 2

This result is the same as the first answer choice:

fourth root of 200 over 2
