SOLUTION: Simplify (be sure to rationalize all denominators)
12. x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)] (you may assume x>0)

Question 43150: Simplify (be sure to rationalize all denominators)
12. x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)] (you may assume x>0)
I'm not sure what to do with this problem, I came to the incorrect answer of x+5/[x^(1/4)]. I thought mabye I could rewrite it as x^(3/4) + [5x^(3/4)] / x and then factor out the x^(3/4). But I'm not sure how to do all this. I'd really appreciate your help, thanks! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)
The LCD is x^(1/4) giving:
[x^(4/4) +5]/x^(1/4)
=[x+5]/x^(1/4)
Cheers,
