Q. Which expressions are equivalent to x1.4x^{1.4}?\newlineChoose all answers that apply:\newline(A) x75\sqrt[5]{x^7}\newline(B) (x5)7(\sqrt[5]{x})^7\newline(C) (x15)7(x^{\frac{1}{5}})^7\newline(D) None of the above
  1. Understand Given Expression: Understand the given expression and the options.\newlineWe need to find which of the given options are equivalent to x1.4x^{1.4}. The exponent 1.41.4 can be written as a fraction, which is 75\frac{7}{5}. So we are looking for expressions that can be simplified to x75x^{\frac{7}{5}}.
  2. Analyze Option A: Analyze option A: x75\sqrt[5]{x^{7}}. The fifth root of x7x^7 can be written as (x7)15(x^7)^{\frac{1}{5}}. Using the property of exponents (am)n=amn(a^{m})^n = a^{m*n}, we get x7(15)=x75x^{7*\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)} = x^{\frac{7}{5}}, which is equivalent to x1.4x^{1.4}.
  3. Analyze Option B: Analyze option B: (x5)7(\sqrt[5]{x})^{7}. The fifth root of xx can be written as x(1/5)x^{(1/5)}. Raising this to the 77th power using the property of exponents (am)n=amn(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m*n}, we get (x(1/5))7=x((1/5)7)=x(7/5)(x^{(1/5)})^{7} = x^{((1/5)*7)} = x^{(7/5)}, which is also equivalent to x1.4x^{1.4}.
  4. Analyze Option C: Analyze option C: (x(1/5))7(x^{(1/5)})^{7}. This is similar to option B. The expression (x1/5)7(x^{1/5})^7 can be simplified using the property of exponents (am)n=amn(a^{m})^{n} = a^{m*n}, which gives us x(1/5)7=x7/5x^{(1/5)*7} = x^{7/5}, equivalent to x1.4x^{1.4}.
  5. Analyze Option D: Analyze option D: None of the above.\newlineSince we have already found that options A, B, and C are equivalent to x(1.4)x^{(1.4)}, option D is incorrect.
