Answer

$ x\sqrt[4]{2}$

Work Step by Step

Apply $ \displaystyle \qquad \frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}=\sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[4]{32x^{5}}}{\sqrt[4]{16x}}=\sqrt[4]{\frac{32x^{5}}{16x}} $ $=\sqrt[4]{\frac{32}{16}\cdot x^{5-1}} $ $=\sqrt[4]{2\cdot x^{4}}$ $=\sqrt[4]{2}\cdot\sqrt[4]{x^{4}}$ Apply $ \sqrt[n]{x^{n}}=|x^{n}|,$ when n is even. Since we assume x is positive: = $\sqrt[4]{2}\cdot x $
