> 3, and fifth root of 5 in order from largest to smallest.
> A=2^(1/2).......B=3^(1/3).......................C=5^(1/5).RAISE EACH OF THEM TO LCM OF 2,3,5...THAT IS 30..WE GET
A^30=2^15.............B^30=3^10.................C^30=
A^30 =32768
B^30 =59049
C^30 =15625
HENCE B^30 IS GREATEST OR B IS GREATEST...OR..3^(1/3) IS GREATEST
NEXT IS A^30....OR....2^(1/2)
AND LEAST IS 5^(1/5)
