root%284%2C36%29%2Asqrt%285%29 Start with the given expression.


%2836%29%5E%281%2F4%29%2A%285%29%5E%281%2F2%29%5E%22%22 Convert to rational exponent notation.


%2836%29%5E%281%2F4%29%2A%285%29%5E%282%2F4%29%5E%22%22 Rewrite 1%2F2 as 2%2F4


%28%2836%29%5E1%2A%285%29%5E2%29%5E%281%2F4%29%5E%22%22 Factor out 1%2F4 from the exponents.


%2836%2A25%29%5E%281%2F4%29%5E%22%22 Square 5 to get 25


%28900%29%5E%281%2F4%29%5E%22%22 Multiply


root%284%2C900%29 Convert back to radical notation.


So root%284%2C36%29%2Asqrt%285%29=root%284%2C900%29
