(x+40^-1/5-(x+4)^-6/5
in my perspective its 24/30
i think its 15 and your welcome
To evaluate the expression (x+40)^(-1/5) - (x+4)^(-6/5), we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expressions within the parentheses.
Rewrite (x+40)^(-1/5) as 1/(x+40)^(1/5), and rewrite (x+4)^(-6/5) as 1/(x+4)^(6/5).
Step 2: Evaluate each term separately.
Evaluate (x+40)^(-1/5) by taking the fifth root of (x+40), and evaluate (x+4)^(-6/5) by taking the fifth root of the sixth power of (x+4).
Step 3: Substitute the evaluated values back into the expression.
Now, substitute the calculated values of (x+40)^(-1/5) and (x+4)^(-6/5) back into the original expression: 1/(x+40)^(1/5) - 1/(x+4)^(6/5).
Step 4: Simplify the expression.
Combine the two terms with a common denominator by getting a common denominator for the fractions, and then subtract the two fractions.
