Answer

The simplified form of $\sqrt{x+5}\sqrt[5]{x+5}$ is ${{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{7}{10}}}$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression. $\sqrt{x+5}\sqrt[5]{x+5}$ Simplified as follows, $\sqrt{x+5}\sqrt[5]{x+5}={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}}}{{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{1}{5}}}$ Apply the product rule of exponents. $\begin{align} & \sqrt{x+5}\sqrt[5]{x+5}={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}}} \\ & ={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{5+2}{10}}} \\ & ={{\left( x+5 \right)}^{\frac{7}{10}}} \end{align}$
