Evaluate .

Rewrite the fractions.

### Example Question #62 : Radicals

Rewrite the following expression as a radical:

Explanation:

The denominator of the exponent represents the root and the numerator represents the power of what the radical is raised to.

We can also separate the powers using the product rule of exponents.

Rewrite the expression as follows:

Note that the powers in the product can also be interchanged.
