You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Recall that root%28n%2Cx%5Em%29=%28x%5Em%29%5E%281%2Fn%29. So root%283%2Cx%5E5y%5E5%29=%28x%5E5y%5E5%29%5E%281%2F3%29%5E%22%22

You could go one step further and multiply the exponents to get


On the other hand, you can pull all of the exponents out to get

Either way, they're all equivalent. It'll just depend on what you're book or teacher is looking for.
