Answer: First option.

Explanation:

Knwing that we must find which is the equivalent expression of the expression
\sqrt[4]{x^(10)}, it is important to remember the Product of powers property, which states the following:


(a^m)(a^n)=a^((m+n))

The we can rewrite the expression:


=\sqrt[4]{x^8x^2}

Remember that:


\sqrt[n]{a^n}=a

Then we get this equivalent expression:


=x^2(\sqrt[4]{x^2})

Answer:

First Option

Explanation:

Given expression is:


\sqrt[4]{x^(10)}

The radicand's exponent will be made multiple of 4 to make the calculations easy

So,


= \sqrt[4]{x^8 * x^2}

The 4 outside the radical means that the power that will be multiplied with the exponents will be 1/4

So,


= x^{(8*(1)/(4))} * x^{(2*(1)/(4))}\\=x^2 \sqrt[4]{x^2}

As x^2 couldn't be solved using radical, it will remain inside the radical.

So the correct answer is first option..
