Question

What is the simplified form of 5 square root x^4 • 5 square root x^4

Answer 1

Answer: C

Explanation:

You can write each term into a fraction.

`\sqrt[5]{x^4}` becomes
`x^4^/^5`

When you multiply 2 terms with the same base, you add the exponents.

`x^4^/^5*x^4^/^5=x^4^/^5^+^4^/^5=x^8^/^5`

`x^8^/^5` is also the same as
`x\sqrt[5]{x^3}`

You get this because
`\sqrt[5]{x^8} =\sqrt[5]{x*x*x*x*x*x*x*x}`. When you pull out 5 os x, you are left with x³ on the inside.
