Math Problem Statement
Simplify the expression (√[5]{k})(k)^{10}.
Solution
The expression shown in the image is:
To simplify this expression, let's rewrite the terms with exponents.
- can be expressed as .
- So, the expression becomes:
When multiplying terms with the same base, we add the exponents:
Converting to a fraction gives us:
Thus, the simplified form of the expression is:

Here are some related questions to explore:
- How would the answer change if the exponent on were different, such as instead of ?
- What happens if you change the root from a fifth root to a different root, like a square root?
- How can you simplify expressions with different fractional exponents?
- What is the general rule for multiplying terms with fractional exponents?
- How would you handle an expression with a nested exponent, such as ?
Tip: When working with exponents, remember that multiplying terms with the same base means adding the exponents, while dividing terms with the same base means subtracting the exponents.
