Answer:

2nd answer choice

Explanation:

One way of doing this problem is to switch over to fractional exponents first.

The given product can be thought of as a square:

the square of (fifth root of 4x^2)

= [ fifth root of 4x^2 ]^2, or

= [(4x^2)^(1/5) ]^2, or

= [ (4x^(2/5) ]^2, or

= 16x^(4/5) This is equal to the 2nd answer choice.
