Math Problem Statement

Simplify the expression \( \frac{\sqrt{x(x^{2n+1})}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{3n}}}, \ x > 0 \).

Solution

The problem asks us to simplify the following expression:

x(x2n+1)x3n3,x>0.\frac{\sqrt{x(x^{2n+1})}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{3n}}}, \quad x > 0.

Step-by-Step Simplification:

  1. Simplify the numerator: The numerator is: x(x2n+1)=x1x2n+1=x2n+2.\sqrt{x(x^{2n+1})} = \sqrt{x^{1} \cdot x^{2n+1}} = \sqrt{x^{2n+2}}. Since x>0x > 0, we can simplify: x2n+2=x2n+22=xn+1.\sqrt{x^{2n+2}} = x^{\frac{2n+2}{2}} = x^{n+1}.

  2. Simplify the denominator: The denominator is: x3n3=(x3n)1/3=x3n13=xn.\sqrt[3]{x^{3n}} = (x^{3n})^{1/3} = x^{3n \cdot \frac{1}{3}} = x^{n}.

  3. Combine the numerator and denominator: The full expression becomes: xn+1xn.\frac{x^{n+1}}{x^{n}}. Using the property of exponents xaxb=xab\frac{x^a}{x^b} = x^{a-b}, we simplify: xn+1n=x1.x^{n+1 - n} = x^{1}.

Final Answer:

x\boxed{x}
