Question

Can anyone help me please? I've been trying for so long, but I can't figure out the answer to this problem. Picture attached. Thank you so much.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Start by simplifying what you can in each radicalfor example, the

∛(xy⁵)= y∛(xy²)

and

∛(x⁷y¹⁷)=x²y⁵∛(xy²)

So know our equation looks like

y∛(xy²)*x²y⁵∛(xy²)

Now because what's inside the radical is the same we can combine them

y⁶x²∛(xy²)²

distribute the square

so

∛(xy²)²= ∛(x²y⁴)= y∛(x²y)

and finally,

y⁶x²*y∛(x²y)= y⁷x²∛(x²y)

this is equal to option C
