<h3>Answer: Choice A</h3>
=====================================================
Explanation:
The fourth root of x is the same as x^(1/4)
I.e,
The same applies to x^10 as well
Multiply the exponents 10 and 1/4 to get 10/4
-----------------------
If we have an expression in the form x^(m/n), with m > n, then we can simplify it into an equivalent form as shown below
The 'a' and 'b' are found through dividing m/n
m/n = a remainder b
'a' is the quotient, b is the remainder
-----------------------
The general formula can easily be confusing, so let's replace m and n with the proper numbers. In this case, m = 10 and n = 4
m/n = 10/4 = 2 remainder 2
We have a = 2 and b = 2
So
turns into
which means
