Answer

$2x^5 \sqrt[4] {x^2}$

Work Step by Step

Use the rule \sqrt[m]{a}\cdot \sqrt[m]{b}=\sqrt[m]{ab}$, where a,b>0$, to obtain: $=\sqrt[4] {16 \cdot x^{8} \cdot x^{14}}$ Simplify: $=\sqrt[4] {16 \cdot x^{22}}$ Factor the radicand so that we can take the fourth roots later: $=\sqrt[4] {2^4 \cdot x^{20} cdot x^{2}}$ $=\sqrt[4] {2^4 \cdot (x^{5})^4 \cdot x^{2}}$ Take the fourth roots: $=2x^5 \sqrt[4] {x^2}$
