Math Problem Statement
Solution
The expression you provided is:
[ \frac{\sqrt[4]{(32x)^5}}{\sqrt[4]{y^5}} ]
Step-by-step solution:
-
Simplify the radicals: Both the numerator and the denominator have the same root (4th root). We can rewrite the expression as a single 4th root:
[ \frac{\sqrt[4]{(32x)^5}}{\sqrt[4]{y^5}} = \sqrt[4]{\frac{(32x)^5}{y^5}} ]
-
Factor the powers: We can distribute the powers inside the root:
[ \sqrt[4]{\frac{(32x)^5}{y^5}} = \sqrt[4]{\left(\frac{32x}{y}\right)^5} ]
-
Simplify the 4th root: When you have an expression like , you can simplify it as . Applying this to the entire expression:
Thus, the simplified expression is:
Final Answer:
