Square root of x  --->   x1/2

Fifth root of x  --->   x1/5

( x1/2 / x1/5 )1/3

Since  inside the parentheses is a division problem, subtract the exponents:

            1/2 - 1/5  =  3/10:

=  ( x3/10 )1/3

Since this is an exponent to an exponent, multiply the exponents:

=  x3/10 x 1/3  =  x1/10     or the tenth root of x
