for this case we must rewrite the following expression in algebraic form:

5 square root of x to the 7th power.

So, we have:


5 \sqrt {x ^ 7} =

We can rewrite:


x ^ 7 = x ^ 6 * x

By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:
\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So:


5 \sqrt {x ^ 6 * x} =\\5x ^ 3 \sqrt {x}

Answer:


5x ^ 3 \sqrt {x}
