Q. Given x>0, the expression 8x13 is equivalent tox28x4x8x5x8x4x28x5
Understand Expression: Understand the given expression and the properties of exponents and roots.The given expression is 8x13, which means the 8th root of x raised to the 13th power. We can use the property of exponents that states nam=anm to rewrite the expression.
Apply Exponent Property: Apply the exponent property to the given expression.Using the property from Step 1, we can rewrite 8x13 as x813.
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent by separating it into integer and fractional parts.The exponent 813 can be split into 1+85, which corresponds to x1×x85. This is because 13 divided by 8 gives us 1 with a remainder of 5, so 813=1+85.
Rewrite Using Exponents: Rewrite the expression using the simplified exponents.Now we can express x813 as x1×x85, which is the same as x×x85.
Convert Fractional Exponent: Convert the fractional exponent back to root form.The term x85 can be rewritten as 8x5, using the property from Step 1 in reverse.
Combine Terms: Combine the terms to get the final equivalent expression.The final expression is x⋅8x5.
