Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

So we will have to somehow show that
\sqrt[x]{b^(m)} equals
(\sqrt[x]{b})^(m) by using
b^{(m)/(n)}.


\sqrt[x]{b^(m)}=(b^(m))^{(1)/(x)}=b^{m*(1)/(x)}=b^{(m)/(x)}


(\sqrt[x]{b})^(m)=(b^{(1)/(x)})^(m)=b^{m*(1)/(x)}=b^{(m)/(x)}

So we have shown that:


\sqrt[x]{b^(m)}=b^{(m)/(x)}

and


(\sqrt[x]{b})^(m)=b^{(m)/(x)}

So by the transitive property of equality:


\sqrt[x]{b^(m)}=(\sqrt[x]{b})^(m)

I hope you find my answer and explanation to be helpful. Happy studying. :D
