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

remember pemdas

3x^{ (5)/(7)}
expoennts before multiply, so move 3 to side
3(
x^{ (5)/(7)})
convert
3(
\sqrt[7]{x^5})

3\sqrt[7]{x^5}

The answer is 3 seventh root of x to the fifth power.

3 x to the 5 sevenths power is
3x^{ (5)/(7) }
Since
x ^{ (a)/(b) } = \sqrt[b]{ x^(a) }, then
x^{ (5)/(7) } = \sqrt[7]{ x^(5) }

Therefore:

3x^{ (5)/(7) } =3 \sqrt[7]{ x^(5) }


3 \sqrt[7]{ x^(5) } is 3 seventh root of x to the fifth power.
