The first step for solving this equation is to rewrite [tex] \sqrt{ 16^{5} } [/tex] using [tex] \sqrt[n]{ a^{m} } [/tex] = [tex] \sqrt[n]{a}^{m} [/tex].
[tex] \sqrt{16} ^{5} [/tex] = 16 × [tex] \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
Reduce the numbers with 2.
[tex] \sqrt{16} ^{5} [/tex] = 8 × 5
Calculate the square root.
[tex]4^{5} [/tex] = 8 × 5
Multiply the numbers on the right side of the equals sign.
[tex]4^{5} [/tex] = 40
Evaluate the power.
1024 = 40
This means that this equality is false because the left and right side are different. The correct answer to your question should be false.
