Q. Which expressions are equivalent to x1.4 ?Choose all answers that apply:A 5x7B (5x)7C. (x51)7D None of the above
Understand the 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 x to the power of 7 is equivalent to (x7)51. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents: 7×51=57. Therefore, (x7)51 is equivalent to x57.
Analyze option B: Analyze option B: (5x)7. The fifth root of x raised to the power of 7 is equivalent to (x1/5)7. Using the power of a power rule, we multiply the exponents: (1/5)×7=7/5. Therefore, (x1/5)7 is equivalent to x7/5.
Analyze option C: Analyze option C: (x(51))7. This option is the same as option B, where x is raised to the power of 51 and then that result is raised to the power of 7. As calculated in Step 3, this is equivalent to x57.
Analyze option D: Analyze option D: None of the above.Since we have already found that options A, B, and C are equivalent to x1.4, option D is incorrect.
