Question

Simplify

`(x^(1)/(5)x^(2)/(5) )/(x^(4)/(5) )`

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since the base x is consistent with all terms of this complex fraction, all you need to do is add the two exponents found in the numerator and from that, subtract the exponent in the denominator.

This gives us x^(3/5) divided by x^(4/5), which is x^(-1/5). This gives 1/x^(1/5), which is 1 divided by the fifth root of x.
