Identify the equation given: \(x^{\frac{5}{4}} = 32\).
To isolate \(x\), raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal power of \(\frac{5}{4}\), which is \(\frac{4}{5}\). This step will help eliminate the fractional exponent on \(x\). So, write: \(\left(x^{\frac{5}{4}}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}} = 32^{\frac{4}{5}}\).
Simplify the left side using the property of exponents: \(\left(a^{m}\right)^{n} = a^{m \cdot n}\). This gives \(x^{\left(\frac{5}{4} \times \frac{4}{5}\right)} = x^{1} = x\).
Now, focus on simplifying the right side: \(32^{\frac{4}{5}}\). Express 32 as a power of 2, since \(32 = 2^{5}\), then rewrite the expression as \(\left(2^{5}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}}\).
Use the exponent rule again to simplify: \(\left(2^{5}\right)^{\frac{4}{5}} = 2^{5 \times \frac{4}{5}} = 2^{4}\). This will give the value of \(x\).
