Answer:

The required expression is
27^{(1)/(5) } = \sqrt[5]{27} or
27^{(1)/(5) } = \sqrt[5]{3^3}

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression :
27^{((1)/(5) )}

We need to find the radical expression.

Use the property:


\sqrt[n]{x} = x^(1)/(n)

Where n is the index of the radical.

By using the above property we can rewrite the above expression as:


27^{(1)/(5) } = \sqrt[5]{27}

OR

We can write 27 = 3×3×3 = 3³


\sqrt[5]{27} = \sqrt[5]{3^3}

Therefore, the required expression is
27^{(1)/(5) } = \sqrt[5]{27} or
27^{(1)/(5) } = \sqrt[5]{3^3}

For this case we have to define properties of powers and roots that:


\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So, if we have the following expression:


27 ^ {\frac {1} {5}}

We can rewrite it as:


\sqrt [5] {27 ^ 1} = \sqrt [5] {27}

ANswer:


\sqrt [5] {27}
