Q. Select the expression that is equivalent to (x2−4)533(x2−4)55(x2−4)35(x2−4)313(x2−4)51
Understand Notation: We need to understand the notation for roots and powers. The expression (x2−4)53 can be interpreted as the 5th root of (x2−4) raised to the 3rd power, because the denominator of the fractional exponent indicates the root and the numerator indicates the power.
Analyze First Option: Let's analyze the first option: 3(x2−4)5. This expression represents the cube root of (x2−4) raised to the 5th power. This does not match our original expression because the root and the power are reversed.
Analyze Second Option: Now let's look at the second option: 5(x2−4)3. This expression represents the 5th root of (x2−4) raised to the 3rd power, which matches the structure of our original expression (x2−4)53.
Analyze Third Option: The third option is (1)/5(x2−4)3. This expression represents the reciprocal of the 5th root of (x2−4) raised to the 3rd power. This is not equivalent to our original expression because of the reciprocal.
Analyze Fourth Option: The fourth option is (1)/(3(x2−4)5). This expression represents the reciprocal of the cube root of (x2−4) raised to the 5th power. Again, this is not equivalent to our original expression because of the reciprocal and the reversed root and power.
