Question Find the equivalent expression for x415\sqrt[5]{x^{41}} when x>0x>0.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The variable xx is a positive real number (x>0x > 0).
2. We are dealing with real numbers and their properties.
3. We need to simplify the expression x415\sqrt[5]{x^{41}}.

STEP 2

Understand the properties of exponents and roots. The fifth root of xx raised to a power can be expressed as xx raised to the power divided by 5.
xn5=xn5\sqrt[5]{x^n} = x^{\frac{n}{5}}

STEP 3

Apply the property of exponents to the given expression x415\sqrt[5]{x^{41}}.
x415=x415\sqrt[5]{x^{41}} = x^{\frac{41}{5}}

STEP 4

Divide the exponent 41 by 5 to find the equivalent expression.
x415=x8+15x^{\frac{41}{5}} = x^{8 + \frac{1}{5}}

STEP 5

Recognize that x8+15x^{8 + \frac{1}{5}} can be separated into two parts using the property of exponents that states xa+b=xaxbx^{a+b} = x^a \cdot x^b.
x8+15=x8x15x^{8 + \frac{1}{5}} = x^8 \cdot x^{\frac{1}{5}}

STEP 6

Understand that x15x^{\frac{1}{5}} is the fifth root of xx.
x15=x5x^{\frac{1}{5}} = \sqrt[5]{x}

STEP 7

Combine the results from STEP_5 and STEP_6 to express the simplified form of the original expression.
x415=x8x5\sqrt[5]{x^{41}} = x^8 \cdot \sqrt[5]{x}
The expression x415\sqrt[5]{x^{41}} is equivalent to x8x5x^8 \cdot \sqrt[5]{x}.
