For this case we must indicate an expression equivalent to:


\sqrt {\frac {2x ^ 5} {18}}

We rewrite 18 as 2 * 9:


\sqrt {\frac {2x ^ 5} {2 * 9}} =

We simplify common factors:


\sqrt {\frac {x ^ 5} {9}} =

We rewrite:


x ^ 5 = x ^ 4 * x = (x ^ 2) ^ 2 * x\\9 = 3 ^ 2

So, we have:


\sqrt {\frac {(x ^ 2) ^ 2 * x} {3 ^ 2}} =\\\sqrt {(\frac {x ^ 2} {3}) ^ 2 * x} =

We get the terms of the radical "


\frac {x ^ 2} {3} \sqrt {x}

Answer:


\frac {x ^ 2} {3} \sqrt {x}
