Question 719461: the square root of x plus the cube root of x.
can this not be simplified into one term?
is it x to the (5/6)?
x^(1/3)+x^(1/2)=

x^(1/3) + x^(1/2)
can this not be simplified into one term?
No.
is it x to the (5/6)?
No. You add exponents only when you're multiplying factors, not when you're adding terms.
When adding terms you must have like terms or you cannot add them. The only role exponents play when adding terms is in the determination of like terms. x^(1/3) and x^(1/2) are not like terms because the exponents are different! Since they are not like terms you cannot add them together.
When you do have like terms, like 2x^4 + 3x^4, you add the coefficients and leave the exponents alone! 2x^4 + 3x^4 = 5x^4
