Q. Given x>0, the expression x8 is equivalent tox4xx5x5xx4
Apply square root property: We are given the expression x8 and we need to simplify it. Since x > 0, we can apply the property of square roots that a2=a for any non-negative a. In this case, we have a power of 8, which is an even number, so we can rewrite the expression as (x8)21.
Use power rule of exponents: Using the power rule of exponents (am∗n=(am)n), we can simplify the expression (x8)1/2 to x8/2.
Divide exponent by 2: Dividing the exponent 8 by 2, we get x4. This is because 8 divided by 2 equals 4.
Final simplified form: Since x > 0, we do not need to consider the absolute value of x, and x4 is the simplified form of x8.
