Rewrite the expression x97x^{\frac{9}{7}}. Select the correct answer: A. (1x)9\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{9}, B. xx27x \sqrt[7]{x^{2}}, C. x79\sqrt[9]{x^{7}}, D. xx7x \sqrt[7]{x}.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We need to rewrite the expression x97x^{\frac{9}{7}} in a different form.
2. We are given multiple choice answers and must select the correct one.

STEP 2

Understand the exponentiation rules that can be used to rewrite the expression. The expression x97x^{\frac{9}{7}} can be rewritten using the rule xab=xabx^{\frac{a}{b}} = \sqrt[b]{x^{a}}, where aa and bb are integers.

STEP 3

Apply the exponentiation rule to the given expression.
x97=x97x^{\frac{9}{7}} = \sqrt[7]{x^{9}}

STEP 4

Now, we need to simplify x97\sqrt[7]{x^{9}} if possible. We can rewrite x9x^{9} as x7x2x^{7} \cdot x^{2} because 9=7+29 = 7 + 2.

STEP 5

Substitute x9x^{9} with x7x2x^{7} \cdot x^{2} in the radical expression.
x97=x7x27\sqrt[7]{x^{9}} = \sqrt[7]{x^{7} \cdot x^{2}}

STEP 6

According to the properties of radicals, x7x27\sqrt[7]{x^{7} \cdot x^{2}} can be split into the product of two radicals: x77x27\sqrt[7]{x^{7}} \cdot \sqrt[7]{x^{2}}.

STEP 7

Simplify the first radical. Since the index of the radical and the exponent are the same, x77=x\sqrt[7]{x^{7}} = x.

STEP 8

Combine the simplified radicals.
x7x27=xx27\sqrt[7]{x^{7} \cdot x^{2}} = x \cdot \sqrt[7]{x^{2}}

STEP 9

Now, we compare the expression we have obtained with the given options.

STEP 10

We see that xx27x \cdot \sqrt[7]{x^{2}} matches option B.
xx27=xx27x \cdot \sqrt[7]{x^{2}} = x \sqrt[7]{x^{2}}

STEP 11

Select the correct answer based on the comparison.
The correct answer is B. xx27x \sqrt[7]{x^{2}}.
