Do you know your perfect squares?
p^2, p^4, p^6, so on
square root is p x p
p^2= p x p
p^3= p x p x p
...
p^5= p x p x p x p x p
divide that by p^2 or p x p.
Cross out two p's from p^5
answer is ___________p^3___________________
p^2, p^4, p^6, so on

Hmm...I want to answer this, but I'm too busy playing x-box with my friends because I ALREADY did my homework. Hope this isn't due tomorrow.

√(p^5) =
√(p^4)√p =
p^2√p
√(p^4)√p =
p^2√p
