Math Problem Statement

Express in simplest radical form. x, cubed, square root of, x, to the power 7 , end square root

Solution

The given expression is:

x73\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^7}}

To simplify it, follow these steps:

Step 1: Rewrite the expression using rational exponents.

We know that: x7=x7/2\sqrt{x^7} = x^{7/2} Thus, the original expression becomes: x7/23=x(7/2)(1/3)\sqrt[3]{x^{7/2}} = x^{(7/2) \cdot (1/3)}

Step 2: Simplify the exponent.

(7213)=76\left(\frac{7}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{3}\right) = \frac{7}{6}

Step 3: Final expression.

The simplified form is: x7/6x^{7/6}

So, the simplest radical form of the given expression is x7/6x^{7/6}.
