{a-little 5square root b^3}{5a+ little 3square root b}
-------------
((a - (b^3)^(1/5) * (5a + (b)^(1/3))
((a - (b
)^(3/5) * (5a + (b)^(1/3))


-------------------------------------------
Use FOIL:
F:a *5a = 5a^2
O: a *b^(1/3)
I: -5a * b^(3/5)
L:(-b^(3/5)*(b^(1/3) = -b^(1/3 + 3/5) = -b^(14/15)
-----------
Add the 4 terms to get the answer.
