Answer

$\sqrt[12]{125x^4}$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ and the laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[4]{5}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x} \\\\= 5^{\frac{1}{4}}\cdot x^{\frac{1}{3}} \\\\= 5^{\frac{3}{12}}\cdot x^{\frac{4}{12}} \\\\= (5^3\cdot x^4)^{\frac{1}{12}} \\\\= (125x^4)^{\frac{1}{12}} \\\\= \sqrt[12]{125x^4} .\end{array}
