Math Problem Statement

Solution

The expression provided in the image is:

(x5)2(x)10x213x15\frac{\left(x^5\right)^2 \cdot \left(\sqrt{x}\right)^{10}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{21}} \cdot x^{-15}}

Let's simplify this step by step.

Step 1: Simplify each component

  1. Simplify (x5)2\left(x^5\right)^2: (x5)2=x5×2=x10\left(x^5\right)^2 = x^{5 \times 2} = x^{10}

  2. Simplify (x)10\left(\sqrt{x}\right)^{10}: x=x1/2,so(x)10=(x1/2)10=x102=x5\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}, \quad \text{so} \quad \left(\sqrt{x}\right)^{10} = \left(x^{1/2}\right)^{10} = x^{\frac{10}{2}} = x^5

  3. Simplify x213\sqrt[3]{x^{21}}: x213=x213=x7\sqrt[3]{x^{21}} = x^{\frac{21}{3}} = x^7

  4. Simplify x15x^{-15}:
    This term is already simplified.

Step 2: Substitute these into the original expression

Substituting back into the original expression, we get:

x10x5x7x15\frac{x^{10} \cdot x^5}{x^7 \cdot x^{-15}}

Step 3: Combine like terms using the laws of exponents

  1. Simplify the numerator: x10x5=x10+5=x15x^{10} \cdot x^5 = x^{10+5} = x^{15}

  2. Simplify the denominator: x7x15=x7+(15)=x8x^7 \cdot x^{-15} = x^{7+(-15)} = x^{-8}

Now, we have:

x15x8\frac{x^{15}}{x^{-8}}

Step 4: Simplify the final expression

Using the law of exponents xaxb=xab\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}:

x15x8=x15(8)=x15+8=x23\frac{x^{15}}{x^{-8}} = x^{15 - (-8)} = x^{15 + 8} = x^{23}

Final Answer

The simplified expression is:

x23\boxed{x^{23}}
