Answer:

1,215 Superscript one-fifth x

Explanation:

Given:

The expression to simplify is given as:


(\sqrt[5]{1215})^x

We know that,


\sqrt[n]{a} = a^{(1)/(n)}

Here,
n=5, a=1215

So,
\sqrt[5]{1215} = 1215^{(1)/(5)}

So, the above expression becomes:


(\sqrt[5]{1215})^x = (1215^{(1)/(5)})^x

Now, using the law of indices
(a^m)^n=a^((m* n))

Here,
a=1215,m=(1)/(5),n=x

So, the expression is finally simplified to;


=(1215)^{({(1)/(5)}* x)}\\\\=(1215)^{(1)/(5)x}

Therefore, the second option is the correct one.


(\sqrt[5]{1215})^x = 1,215 Superscript one-fifth x
