Answer:

D. 8

Explanation:

32^(3/5) is the same as
\sqrt[5]{32}^3.


\sqrt[5]{32} = 2 because 2^5=32

2^3 = 8

Simplify the expression.

Rewrite 32 as 2⁵.


\bf{\left(2^(5)\right)^{(3)/(5) } }

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, (αᵐ)ⁿ=αᵐⁿ.


\bf{2^(5)^{((3)/(5) )} }

Cancel the common factor of 5.

Cancel the common factor.


\bf{2^{\\ot{5}}^{((3)/(5) )} }

Substitute the expression.


\bf{2^(3) \ \ \to \ Calculate \ power. }

Raise 2 to the power of 3.

  • 8 ===> Answer

We conclude that the correct option is "D".
