Official Solution:
If \(\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{5x}}} = \sqrt[6]{4x}\), what is the range of the possible values of \(x\)?
A. \(0\)
B. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
C. \(\frac{125}{256}\)
D. \(\frac{1}{2}\)
E. \(\frac{131}{256}\)
\(\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{5x}}} = \sqrt[6]{4x}\);
\((5x)^{\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}} =(4x)^{\frac{1}{6}}\);
\((5x)^{\frac{1}{8}} =(4x)^{\frac{1}{6}}\);
Take to the power of 24 (the LCM of 8 and 6): \((5x)^3 =(4x)^4\);
\(x^3(256x-125)=0\);
\(x=0\) or \(x=\frac{125}{256}\).
The range of the possible values of \(x\) is therefore \(\frac{125}{256}-0=\frac{125}{256}\).

5x ^ 1/8 = 4x^1/6
Multiplying both powers by 24
{5x}^3 = {\(2^2\) * x} ^4
{2^2 * x} ^ 4 - {5x}^3 = 0
x^3 ( 256 x - 125) = 0
Range = HT - LT
125/256 - 0
