The expression a⁵ᐟ² is equivalent to √a⁵ for all a> 0.

How to identify equivalent expression.

Given the expression a⁵ᐟ²

This expression can be interpreted as taking (a) to the power of 5/2.

Since the exponent is a fraction, it implies a square root followed by raising the result to the power of 5.

So, a⁵ᐟ² = √a⁵.

This matches option (1) √a⁵

The expression a⁵ᐟ² is equivalent to the square root of a⁵.

Therefore, the correct choice is (1) √a⁵

The expression 5/a^2 is equivalent to which of the following as long as a<0-example-1
