Question

Simplify this expression
5*sqrt(x^22) where x<0

Answer 1

`\boxed{5x^(11), x < 0}`

Explanation:

`5\sqrt{x^(22)}`

Remember that we evaluate the term under the radical first.

Even though x < 0, x²² > 0

So,

`5\sqrt{x^(22)} = 5x^(11)`

The simplified expression is

`\boxed{5x^(11), x < 0}`
