3 to the 5/4 power means 3 ^5 then taken to the 4th root
\n" ); document.write( "The numerator is the power and the denominator is the root
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%5E%284%2F5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so as a radical 4 and 3^5 inside
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4radical3%5E5\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
