Raise to the power or find the root. Assume that all variables represent positive real numbers. Write with only positive
exponents.
-$- \sqrt [ 5 ] { x ^ { 15 } }$
A) $- x ^ { 3 }$
B) $- x ^ { 5 }$
C) $- 3 x$
D) $- x ^ { 4 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression $- \sqrt [ 5 ] { x ^ { 15 } }$ simplifies to $- x ^ { 3 }$ because when you take the fifth root of $x^{15}$, you divide the exponent by 5, resulting in $x^{3}$.
