Answer:

x = -(-30/7)^(1/25) or x = (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(2/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(3/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(4/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(1/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(6/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(7/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(8/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(9/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(2/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(11/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(12/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(13/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(14/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(3/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(16/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(17/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(18/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(19/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(4/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(21/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(22/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(23/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(24/25) (30/7)^(1/25)

Explanation:

Solve for x:

7 x^25 = 30

Hint: | Divide by an appropriate factor to make the coefficient of x^25 equal to 1.

Divide both sides by 7:

x^25 = 30/7

Hint: | Take 25^th roots of both sides.

Taking 25^th roots gives (30/7)^(1/25) times the 25^th roots of unity:

Answer: x = -(-30/7)^(1/25) or x = (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(2/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(3/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(4/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(1/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(6/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(7/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(8/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(9/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(2/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(11/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(12/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(13/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(14/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(3/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(16/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(17/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(18/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(19/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(4/5) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(21/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(22/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = -(-1)^(23/25) (30/7)^(1/25) or x = (-1)^(24/25) (30/7)^(1/25)
