Remember, order of operations
exponent before multiply
so 4x^5/6=4 times x^5/6
simplify the x^5/6 first
remember
![x^\frac{m}{n}=\sqrt[n]{s^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bs%5Em%7D)
so
![x^\frac{5}{6}=\sqrt[6]{x^5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B6%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D)
so
![4x^\frac{5}{6}=4\sqrt[6]{x^5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%5E%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%3D4%5Csqrt%5B6%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D)
