Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Using the quotient property of radicals, we can simplify the expression to:
x53x73=x5x73=1x23=1x23=1x2/3\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^5}}{\sqrt[3]{x^7}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x^5}{x^7}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{x^2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2/3}}3x73x5=3x7x5=3x21=3x21=x2/31 Therefore, the answer is choice A.
x53x73=x5x73=1x23=1x23=1x2/3\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^5}}{\sqrt[3]{x^7}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{x^5}{x^7}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{x^2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2/3}}3x73x5=3x7x5=3x21=3x21=x2/31 Therefore, the answer is choice A.
