Rationalizing Denominators in Hydraulic Systems

A hydraulic technician is determining the flow rate through a high-pressure valve using the expression 5644\sqrt[4]{\frac{5}{64}}. After applying the Quotient Property and simplifying the denominator radicand, the expression is represented in the intermediate form 542224\frac{\sqrt[4]{5}}{2\sqrt[4]{2^2}}. To complete the simplification and eliminate the radical from the denominator, recall the specific radical expression that must be used to multiply both the numerator and the denominator.
