Question
select the expression equivalent to \\(sqrt8{x^{77}}\\) given \\(x > 0\\).
answer
\\(\circ\\) \\(x^8\sqrt8{x^4}\\) \\(\circ\\) \\(x^8\sqrt8{x^5}\\)
\\(\circ\\) \\(x^9\sqrt8{x^5}\\) \\(\circ\\) \\(x^9\sqrt8{x^4}\\)
Step1: Rewrite exponent as quotient/remainder
Divide 77 by 8: $77 = 8\times9 + 5$
Step2: Split radical using exponent rule
$\sqrt[8]{x^{77}} = \sqrt[8]{x^{8\times9} \cdot x^5}$
Step3: Simplify radical expression
$\sqrt[8]{x^{8\times9} \cdot x^5} = \sqrt[8]{x^{8\times9}} \cdot \sqrt[8]{x^5} = x^9\sqrt[8]{x^5}$
