(5sqrt(q))/q^3" but "5q^(-5/2)" is better!"

Explanation:

Assumption: You meant the question to look like

(5xxq^3)/sqrt(q^11color(white)(.))

Write as " "5xx(q^3)/(q^(11/2))

=> 5xx q^(6/2-11/2)" "=" "5q^(-5/2)

=> 5/(sqrt(q^5))

=>5/(sqrt(q^2xxq^2xxqcolor(white)(.))

=> 5/(q^2sqrt(q))

Not good practice to have a root as a denominator
So multiply by but in the form of sqrt(q)/sqrt(q)

Giving

(5sqrt(q))/q^3" or just use the earlier value of " 5q^(-5/2)
