1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to simplify the expression x45x35\frac{x^{\frac{4}{5}}}{x^{\frac{3}{5}}} and express the answer with positive exponents.

2. Solution Steps

To simplify the expression x45x35\frac{x^{\frac{4}{5}}}{x^{\frac{3}{5}}}, we can use the quotient rule for exponents, which states that aman=amn\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}. In this case, a=xa=x, m=45m=\frac{4}{5}, and n=35n=\frac{3}{5}.
Applying the quotient rule, we have:
x45x35=x4535\frac{x^{\frac{4}{5}}}{x^{\frac{3}{5}}} = x^{\frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{5}}
Now, we subtract the exponents:
4535=435=15\frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{4-3}{5} = \frac{1}{5}
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
x15x^{\frac{1}{5}}
The exponent is positive, so we don't need to do any further manipulation.

3. Final Answer

x15x^{\frac{1}{5}}
