Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option B : $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$ is the expression equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Explanation:

The given expression is $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Rewriting the expression $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$ using the exponent rule, $a^{-b}=\frac{1}{a^{b}}$

Hence, we get,

$\frac{1}{x^{\frac{5}{3} } }$

Simplifying, we get,

$\frac{1}{\left(x^{5}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Applying the rule, $a^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a}$

Thus, we have,

$\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

Now, we shall determine from the options that which expression is equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Option A: $\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{x^{3} } }$

The expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{x^{3} } }$ is not equivalent to simplified expression  $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

Thus, the expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{x^{3} } }$ is not equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

The expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$ is equivalent to the simplified expression  $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

Thus, the expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$ is equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $-\sqrt[3]{x^5}$

The expression $-\sqrt[3]{x^5}$ is not equivalent to the simplified expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

Thus, the expression $-\sqrt[3]{x^5}$ is not equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: $-\sqrt[5]{x^3}$

The expression $-\sqrt[5]{x^3}$ is not equivalent to the simplified expression $\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^{5} } }$

Thus, the expression $-\sqrt[5]{x^3}$ is not equivalent to $x^{-\frac{5}{3}$

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.
