Q. Given x>0, the expression 5x32 is equivalent tox65x2x75x2x7x6
Understand Expression and Properties: Understand the given expression and the properties of exponents. The given expression is 5x32, which means we are looking for the fifth root of x raised to the 32nd power. According to the properties of exponents, taking the nth root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of n1.
Apply Exponent Property: Apply the property of exponents to rewrite the expression.We can rewrite the fifth root of x32 as x532. This is because the fifth root is equivalent to raising to the power of 51, and when we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents.
Simplify Exponent Division: Simplify the exponent by dividing 32 by 5. When we divide 32 by 5, we get 6 with a remainder of 2. This means that x(32/5) can be written as x(6+2/5).
Separate Exponents: Separate the whole number exponent from the fractional exponent.We can express x6+52 as the product of x6 and x52. This is because of the property of exponents that states that when we have the same base with exponents being added, we can multiply the bases with the respective exponents.
Recognize Fifth Root: Recognize that x52 is the fifth root of x squared.We can rewrite x52 as 5x2 because raising to the power of 52 is the same as squaring and then taking the fifth root.
Combine Final Expression: Combine the results to get the final expression.The final expression is x6 multiplied by the fifth root of x squared, which is written as x65x2.
