Q. Which expressions are equivalent to x1.4?Choose all answers that apply:(A) 5x7(B) (5x)7(C) (x51)7(D) None of the above
Understand Given Expression: Understand the given expression and the options.We need to find which of the given options are equivalent to x1.4. The exponent 1.4 can be written as a fraction, which is 57. So we are looking for expressions that can be simplified to x57.
Analyze Option A: Analyze option A: 5x7. The fifth root of x7 can be written as (x7)51. Using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n, we get x7∗(51)=x57, which is equivalent to x1.4.
Analyze Option B: Analyze option B: (5x)7. The fifth root of x can be written as x(1/5). Raising this to the 7th power using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n, we get (x(1/5))7=x((1/5)∗7)=x(7/5), which is also equivalent to x1.4.
Analyze Option C: Analyze option C: (x(1/5))7. This is similar to option B. The expression (x1/5)7 can be simplified using the property of exponents (am)n=am∗n, which gives us x(1/5)∗7=x7/5, equivalent to x1.4.
Analyze Option D: Analyze option D: None of the above.Since we have already found that options A, B, and C are equivalent to x(1.4), option D is incorrect.
