Question 64170: explain roots such as 23 to the 3/4 power or give lesson source

In a number such as 23%5E%283%2F4%29 in which the exponent is 3%2F4, it means raise 23 to the third power and take the fourth root of 23.
Another way to write this would be:
sqrt%2823%5E3%29 but with a little 4 in the hook of the radical sign. Sorry, but I can't write it explicitly.
