Final answer:
To reduce the given equation to one of the standard forms, divide both sides by z² and take the fifth root.
Step-by-step explanation:
To reduce the equation 15x² - y⁵z² = 0 to one of the standard forms, we need to isolate one of the variables on one side of the equation. In this case, we can isolate y by dividing both sides of the equation by z² and then taking the fifth root of both sides, so the answer is a) y = (15x²/z²)^(1/5).
