Answer

$\frac{1}{5}ln(x)$

Work Step by Step

According to the power rule of logarithms, we know that $log_{b}M^{p}=plog_{b}M$ (when $b$ and $M$ are positive real numbers, $b\ne1$, and $p$ is any real number). Therefore, $ln(\sqrt[5] x)=ln(x^{\frac{1}{5}})=\frac{1}{5}ln(x)$. Recall that $ln(x)$ is a natural logarithm with an understood base of $e$.
