2 is the base and (
\sqrt[4][a^5 b^3]) is the exponent.

the 4 is called an index and it means to fi d the fourth root of the expression under the (
image)

(
\sqrt[4][a*a*a*a*a*b*b*b]) there is one group of 4 a's so

(
a\sqrt[4][a* b^3])

there really isn't anything else to do to simplify the expression
