Change to radical form: $$ x^{5 / 6} $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To express $$ x^{5/6} $$ in radical form, you can use the definition of fractional exponents. A fractional exponent $$ \frac{a}{b} $$ corresponds to the $$ b $$-th root of the base raised to the $$ a $$-th power.

For $$ x^{5/6} $$:

1. **Identify the numerator and the denominator:**
   - Numerator ($$ a $$) = 5
   - Denominator ($$ b $$) = 6

2. **Apply the radical form:**
   $$
   x^{5/6} = \sqrt[6]{x^5}
   $$
   
   Alternatively, it can also be written as:
   $$
   \left( \sqrt[6]{x} \right)^5
   $$
   
Both forms are correct, but the first form is typically preferred for simplicity.

**Final Answer:**
$$
x^{5/6} = \sqrt[6]{\,x^{\,5}\,}
$$
$$ x^{5/6} = \sqrt[6]{x^5} $$
