Given the expression:


(\sqrt[6]{x^5})^7

Let's transform the expression into an expression with rational exponents.

To transform into an expression with rational exponents, apply the formula:


\sqrt[n]{a^x}=a^{(x)/(n)}

Thus, we have:


(\sqrt[6]{x^5})^7=(x^{(5)/(6)})^7

Now, apply the power rule and multiply the exponents:


\begin{gathered} x^{(5)/(6)*7}=x^{(5*7)/(6)} \\ \\ =x^{(35)/(6)} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the expression written with rational exponents is:


x^{(35)/(6)}

ANSWER:


x^{(35)/(6)}
