Explanation:

any root of a number can be written as fraction in the exponent of that number.

so, here, the square root of 5 is 5^1/2.

and the cubic root of 5 is 5^1/3.

what happens, when we multiply the same base number with exponents ?

a^n × a^m = a^(n+m)

and so we get here

5^1/2 × 5^1/3 = 5^(1/2 + 1/3)

how do we add fractions with different denominators ?

we bring them to the same denominator, usually by using the smallest (or least) common multiple of the existing denominators, which is 6 for 2 and 3.

so,

1/2 + 1/3 = 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

therefore, the simplified solution is

5^5/6

the first answer option is correct.

Answer:


=5^{(5)/(6) }

Explanation:


(√(5) )(\sqrt[3]{5} )=(5^{(1)/(2) } )(5^{(1)/(3) } )=5^{(1)/(2)+(1)/(3) } =5^{(5)/(6) }

Hope this helps
