Math Problem Statement
simplify
Solution
To simplify the expression
we can start by observing the relationship between the terms in the numerator and denominator.
Notice that can be factored as:
Thus, the expression becomes:
We can rewrite this as:
Next, observe that can be rewritten as . Therefore:
Since raising to an odd power (like 5) gives , this simplifies to:
Finally, the terms cancel out:
So, the simplified expression is:
