--------------
It's not a problem to be solved, just an expression.
It can be "simplified", tho that's sometimes a matter of opinion as to what is simpler.
-------------
a^(2/5)b^(1/3)
Get the a and b terms to the same exponent: 1/5 x 1/3 = 1/15
a^(2/5)b^(1/3)
= See that?
=
It's simplified in the sense that there's only one fractional exponent, or root.
