1/5 * x^(2 * -1/2) = 1/5 * x^-1

Please see processes below.....

Explanation:

I don't really know if you actually mean.... 1/root(5)x^2 or 1/(5 sqrtx^2)

But which so ever way...

Here is the processes below;

Process 1

For, -> 1/root(5)x^2

1/root(5)x^2

Note that -> root(5)a = a^(1/5)

rArr 1/x^(2 xx 1/5)

rArr 1/x^(2/5) -> Answer, Since it's a fractional exponent, hence the answer should have been x^(-2/5), since 1/a = a^-1

Process 2

For, -> 1/(5 sqrtx^2)

1/(5 sqrtx^2)

rArr 1/(5 xx sqrtx^2)

Note that -> sqrtx^2 = x

rArr 1/(5 xx x)

rArr 1/(5x) -> Answer

Which ever way your questions is asked, those above processes gives you the solution to either..

Hope it's crystal??
