Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Radical Expressions
Radical expressions involve roots, such as square roots or cube roots. In this context, the fifth root (⁵√) is used, which means finding a number that, when raised to the fifth power, equals the given expression. Understanding how to manipulate and simplify radical expressions is crucial for solving problems involving roots.

Exponents and Their Properties
Exponents represent repeated multiplication of a base number. Key properties include the product of powers (a^m * a^n = a^(m+n)) and the quotient of powers (a^m / a^n = a^(m-n)). These properties are essential for simplifying expressions with variables raised to powers, especially when dividing or multiplying terms.

Simplifying Fractions
Simplifying fractions involves reducing them to their lowest terms by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor. In the context of radical expressions, this means simplifying the expression under the radical and ensuring that any common factors are canceled out, leading to a more manageable form of the expression.
