This question is not correct

Correct Question

Write the expression 2^ 3/5 as a radical

Answer:

Option D = ⁵√2³

Explanation:

Writing the expression 2^3/5 as a radical

It is important to note that

a^b/c = a ^b×1/c

Therefore,

2^3/5 = 2 ³× ¹/⁵

Note the 3 is the power of the expression and 5 will be the root of the expression

Therefore we have

⁵√2³
