Yes, very tricky. Just need to know exponents, very well
.
x* (x^2)^1/3,,,,,,,,,cube root of square ,,,nice
.
now remember, (c^a)^b = c^(a*b)
.
x^1 * x^(2/3)
.
now remember, a^b *a^c = a^(b+c)
.
x^(1+2/3) = x^(5/3)
.
now just remember ,,,x^(a/b) = x^(a)^(1/b)
.
(x^5)^1/3,,,,,,or cube root of x raised to 5th power,,,,,,
