Math geiuses I can really use your help can you please explain the steps to get the answer?? here is the quest

Question

you must rewrite the radical in its simpliest form

4√a^5/x^3

I have a test in a few hours and have no idea how to get the answer:(
and my teacher don't help me:(

here is the answer a^ax/x

sadly I don't know how to get the answer:(

Answer 1

i don't know how to get a radical sign so i will just use 1/2 power it means the same thing 4 (a^5/x^3)^1/2

a^5 can be rewrite as (a^2)*(a^2)*(a)= a^5 and also (x^2 )* X = x^3 so you know is some thing sqared under the radical it can come out of the radical. so you take out the two "a^2" out side the radical but whenthey come out you can selc the sqaure power"^2" and it will be just 2a then 2a *4 will give you 8a and the same thing for x, x^2 comes out as just x so out side the radical you have 8a/x and inside you will have (a/x)
(8a/x) (a/x)^1/2 .. i hope it is clear

Answer 2

It's hard to say what is under the radical.

Is it 4*(a^5/x^3)^0.5?

Answer 3

woa, ok you lost me...
