Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{16(1+2x)}{x^{3/4}}$

Work Step by Step

We keep in mind the simplification: $ x^{1/4}=x^{1-3/4}=x\cdot x^{-3x}$ We start by factoring out $16x^{-3/4}$ $16x^{-3/4}+32x^{1/4}=16x^{-3/4}(1+2x)$ To have all positive exponents, we rewrite as: = $\displaystyle \frac{16(1+2x)}{x^{3/4}}$
