The correct Answer is:
Let's simplify the given expressions step by step. ### Part (i) We need to simplify: \[ \frac{\sqrt[5]{a^3 b^{-2} c^{-4}}}{\sqrt[5]{a^8 b^3 c^{-9}}} \] **Step 1: Rewrite the expression using exponents.** The expression can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{(a^3 b^{-2} c^{-4})^{1/5}}{(a^8 b^3 c^{-9})^{1/5}} \] **Step 2: Apply the exponent to each term in the numerator and denominator.** This gives us: \[ \frac{a^{3/5} b^{-2/5} c^{-4/5}}{a^{8/5} b^{3/5} c^{-9/5}} \] **Step 3: Use the property of exponents for division.** Recall that \(\frac{A^m}{A^n} = A^{m-n}\). Thus, we can simplify each base: - For \(a\): \[ a^{3/5 - 8/5} = a^{-5/5} = a^{-1} \] - For \(b\): \[ b^{-2/5 - 3/5} = b^{-5/5} = b^{-1} \] - For \(c\): \[ c^{-4/5 - (-9/5)} = c^{-4/5 + 9/5} = c^{5/5} = c^{1} \] **Step 4: Combine the results.** Putting it all together, we have: \[ \frac{c}{a b} \] ### Final Answer for Part (i): \[ \frac{c}{ab} \] --- ### Part (ii) We need to simplify: \[ (125)^{1/4} \left(8^{1/3} + 27^{1/3}\right)^{1/4} \] **Step 1: Simplify \(125^{1/4}\).** We know that \(125 = 5^3\), so: \[ (125)^{1/4} = (5^3)^{1/4} = 5^{3/4} \] **Step 2: Simplify \(8^{1/3}\) and \(27^{1/3}\).** We know that \(8 = 2^3\) and \(27 = 3^3\): \[ 8^{1/3} = (2^3)^{1/3} = 2 \] \[ 27^{1/3} = (3^3)^{1/3} = 3 \] **Step 3: Combine the results inside the parentheses.** Thus: \[ 8^{1/3} + 27^{1/3} = 2 + 3 = 5 \] **Step 4: Apply the exponent to the sum.** Now we have: \[ (5)^{1/4} \] **Step 5: Combine everything.** Putting it all together: \[ 5^{3/4} \cdot (5^{1/4}) = 5^{3/4 + 1/4} = 5^{4/4} = 5^1 = 5 \] ### Final Answer for Part (ii): \[ 5 \] ---
