You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you had (x)^(3/2) you would square root the x and then cube the number.
I.e. [√(2)]^3
----
So you can conclude that the 2 on the denominator is the degree to which you 'root' and the numerator is the power.
----
Similarly for this you would get
[5000√(2.43w)]^1663
----
Note that the 5000 would be written as you would a 3 for the cube root.
