Answer

$f(x)=|x-1|\sqrt[]{5}$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of radicals, the given equation, $ f(x)=\sqrt[]{5x^2-10x+5} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} f(x)=\sqrt[]{5(x^2-2x+1)} \\\\ f(x)=\sqrt[]{5(x-1)^2} \\\\ f(x)=\sqrt[]{(x-1)^2\cdot5} \\\\ f(x)=|x-1|\sqrt[]{5} \end{array}
