Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the expression in the image to simplify it into the form .
The expression inside the 4th root is:
First, simplify the expression inside the root. The constant cancels out from the numerator and the denominator, so we're left with:
Using the laws of exponents, we subtract the exponents of :
Now, the expression inside the 4th root is .
Next, take the 4th root of . The 4th root of can be written as:
So, the expression simplifies to:
This is the simplified expression in the form , where .
