Answer:

StartFraction 6 Over 5 x Superscript 10 Baseline EndFraction

Explanation:

Apparently you want to simplify ...


\sqrt{(72x^(16))/(50x^(36))}

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

1/a^b = a^-b

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

__

So the expression simplifies as ...


\sqrt{(72x^(16))/(50x^(36))}=\sqrt{(36)/(25x^(36-16))}=\sqrt{(36)/(25x^(20))}\\\\\sqrt{\left((6)/(5x^(10))\right)^2}=\boxed{(6)/(5x^(10))}
