The resultant expression, equivalent to [tex](160*243)^{1/5}[/tex] is Option (D) [tex]6\sqrt[5]{5}[/tex]
Exponents and its properties -
An exponent refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself. It is represented as a number or letter written above and to the right of a mathematical expression called the base. It indicates that the base is to be raised to a certain power. x is the base and n is the exponent or power.
Represented as [tex]x^{n}[/tex]
What are some of the properties of exponents ?
- [tex]x*x*x[/tex] ........ upto n times = [tex]x^{n}[/tex]
- [tex](x^{n})^{1/n} = x[/tex]
- [tex](x^{n}*y^{n} )^{1/n} = xy[/tex]
How to solve the given exponent problem to get the equivalent expression ?
Given expression is [tex](160*243)^{1/5}[/tex].
Now we are separating the expression,
160 = 2*2*2*2*2*5 = [tex]2^{5}*5[/tex]
243 = 3*3*3*3*3 = [tex]3^{5}[/tex]
∴ [tex](160*243)^{1/5}[/tex] = [tex](2^{5}*5*3^{5})^{1/5}[/tex] = [tex]2*3*5^{1/5}[/tex] = [tex]6\sqrt[5]{5}[/tex]
Thus the equivalent expression is Option (C) [tex]6\sqrt[5]{5}[/tex]
