Question

I don’t understand how to solve this. Please explain the steps. Thanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are raising something to a fractional power, you are raising it to the power of the numerator and finding the root denoted by the denominator. The explanation above is kinda confusing, so here is an example:

x^(3/5)

This would be written as:

$\sqrt[5]{x^3}$

Now for the actual problem. Since the numerator is 4, we start by raising x to the 4th power, x^4.

Because the denominator is 5, we find the 5th root:

$\sqrt[5]{x^4}$

This matches none of the answers shown, so the answer is none of the above or D.

Answer 2

Answer:

D
