Convert to Exponential Form: First, let's convert the radical form to the exponential form.r5=r256r7=r67r56r7=r25×r67
Apply Product Rule of Exponents: Next, we apply the product rule of exponents, which states that am×an=am+n. Combine the exponents by adding them. r5/2×r7/6=r5/2+7/6. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 12. =r(5×6)/(2×6)+(7×2)/(6×2)=r(30/12)+(14/12)=r(30+14)/12=r44/12
Simplify Exponent: Now, we simplify the exponent by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. r44/12= r11/3
Convert to Radical Form: Finally, we convert the simplified exponential form back to the radical form.r311=3r11
