Question

What is the simplified form of 72x^16/50x^36? Assume x ≠ 0.

Answer 1

Given
$\frac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}$

This can be simplified as follows:
$\frac{72x^{16}}{50x^{36}}= \frac{36x^{16}}{25x^{36}} \\ \\ = \frac{ \sqrt{36x^{16}} }{ \sqrt{25x^{36}} } = \frac{6x^8}{5x^{18}} \\ \\ = \frac{6}{5} x^{8-18}= \frac{6}{5} x^{-10} \\ \\ = \frac{6}{5x^{10}}$

Option A is the correct answer.
