For this case we must write algebraically the following expression:

"four square root x to the fifth"

We have to:

square root x is represented as:
\sqrt {x}

Then, the expression will be:


4 \sqrt {x ^ 5}

Equivalently, according to the property of powers and roots:


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

We have:


4x ^ {\frac {5} {2}}

ANswer:


4 \sqrt {x ^ 5}\\4x ^ {\frac {5} {2}}

Answer:


x^{(5)/(4)}

Explanation:

We are asked to rewrite the radical expression as an expression with rational exponents.


\sqrt[4]{x^5}

Using exponent property
\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^{(m)/(n)}, we can rewrite our given expression as:


\sqrt[4]{x^5}=x^{(5)/(4)}

Therefore, our required expression would be
x^{(5)/(4)}.
