Re: Basic arithmetic [#permalink]
Thanks. I got it. It just slipped initially. I need to add the powers.

Re: Basic arithmetic [#permalink]
When the base is the same, just add the powers

SO, in this case, 5^ (1/5+2/5+3/5+4/5) = 5^2 = 25

Can someone add answer choices so we can use the timer? would be great!

greatchap
What is the value of \(5^{\frac{1}{5}} * 5^{\frac{2}{5}} * 5^{\frac{3}{5}} * 5^{\frac{4}{5}}\) ?

A. \(\sqrt{5}\)
B. 5
C. \(5\sqrt{5}\)
D. 25
E. \(25\sqrt{5}\)
\(5^{\frac{1}{5}} * 5^{\frac{2}{5}} * 5^{\frac{3}{5}} * 5^{\frac{4}{5}}\)

Or, \(5^{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{4}{5}}\)

Or, \(5^{\frac{1+2+3+4}{5}}\)

Or, \(5^{\frac{10}{5}}\)

Or, \(5^2 = 25\), Answer must be (D)

Hello from the GMAT Club BumpBot!

Thanks to another GMAT Club member, I have just discovered this valuable topic, yet it had no discussion for over a year. I am now bumping it up - doing my job. I think you may find it valuable (esp those replies with Kudos).

Want to see all other topics I dig out? Follow me (click follow button on profile). You will receive a summary of all topics I bump in your profile area as well as via email.
