SOLUTION: Simplify (rationalize all denominators)
x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)] (you may assume x>0)
I think I should start by rewriting it as x^(3/4) + [5x^(3/4)] / x and then try to factor

Question 83555: Simplify (rationalize all denominators)
x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)] (you may assume x>0)
I think I should start by rewriting it as x^(3/4) + [5x^(3/4)] / x and then try to factor out x^(3/4). I can't remember how to do this correctly. I'd like to see the steps to solve the problem and the answer. Thanks.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^(3/4) + 5/[x^(1/4)]
-------------
Write with a common denominator:
(x+5)/(x^(1/4))
-----------
Rationalize the denominator); multiply numerator and denominator by x^(3/4):
[x^(3/4)(x+5)] / x
