The expression
\(3√(4x^5) - 3√(2x^5)\) simplifies to
\(3x^{(5)/(2)}(2 - √(2))\). None of the provided options (A, B, C, D) matches the simplified expression.

To simplify the expression
\(3√(4x^5) - 3√(2x^5)\), let's break down each term separately.

1. First term:
\(3√(4x^5)\):

-
\(3 * √(4x^5)\) can be simplified as
\(3 * 2x^{(5)/(2)}\) since \(√(4x^5) = 2x^{(5)/(2)}\).

- So, the first term becomes
\(6x^{(5)/(2)}\).

2. Second term:
\(3√(2x^5)\):

-
\(3 * √(2x^5)\) can be simplified as
\(3 * √(2) * x^{(5)/(2)}\).

- The second term remains
\(3√(2)x^{(5)/(2)}\).

Now, subtract the second term from the first:


\[ 6x^{(5)/(2)} - 3√(2)x^{(5)/(2)} \]

Factor out the common term
\(3x^{(5)/(2)}\):


\[ 3x^{(5)/(2)}(2 - √(2)) \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is
\(3x^{(5)/(2)}(2 - √(2))\).

None of the provided options (A, B, C, D) matches the simplified expression.
