Option A. $\sqrt[5]{\left(32 a^{10} b^{\frac{5}{2}}\right)^{2}}$ is the correct radical form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The numerator of the exponential is kept where it is whereas when converting an exponential into a radical, the denominator becomes the root of the variable.

The numerator of the exponential is 2 while the denominator is 5.

Step 2:

So the numerator is kept where it is while the denominator, 5 becomes the root of the variable.

Out of the given options, options 2, 3 and 4 have square roots so they cannot be the answers. Option 1 has a root to the power of 5, so it is the correct radical form.

So option 1 is the right answer.

Let's group the cubic function: $h(x)=x^4+2x^3-10x^2-18x+9=(x-3)(x+3)(x^2+2x-1)$ .

The first two roots are $\pm3$ however to find the last two roots we need to solve the square equation:

$x^2+2x-1=0
\\D=b^2-4ac=2^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-1)=8$ . Now we know the discriminator, using the discriminator we're able to find the roots of the equation: $x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}=\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{8}}{2}=\frac{-2\pm2\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{2(\sqrt{2}\pm1)}{2}$ . The roots of the square equation are $x_{1}=-1-\sqrt{2}$ and $x_{2}=\sqrt{2}-1$ .

The roots of the cubic function are $\pm3$ , $-1-\sqrt{2}$ and $\sqrt{2}-1$ .
