Start with the given expression



Convert the expression from radical notation to exponent notation. Remember




Multiply the exponents. Remember %28x%5Ey%29%5Ez=x%5E%28y%2Az%29


Multiply


Reduce


So


note: after a while you'll notice that when you take the square root of something like w%5E14, the exponent simply gets cut in half. So sqrt%28x%5E10%29=x%5E5, sqrt%28z%5E18%29=z%5E9, etc...
