Answer:

Order of exponentiation can be swapped here, and the fractional power written as a root.

Explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication and the rules of exponents apply.

Product of exponents

The rule is ...

(a^b)^c = a^(bc)

Application

The given expression can be rearranged to ...


\left(3^(1)/(5)\right)^2=3^{(1)/(5)\cdot2}=3^{2\cdot(1)/(5)}=\left(3^2\right)^(1)/(5)\\\\=9^(1)/(5)=\boxed{\sqrt[5]{9}}
