remember


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

(x^m)^n=x^(mn)
so


x^ (3)/(5) = \sqrt[5]{4^3}
but wait, there's more

4=2², so


x^ (3)/(5) = \sqrt[5]{4^3} = \sqrt[5]{(2^2)^3} = \sqrt[5]{2^6}=

2^ (6)/(5)=(2^ (5)/(5))(2^ (1)/(5))=2 \sqrt[5]{2}

also, 4^3=64


so possible ones are

2^ (6)/(5)

\sqrt[5]{4^3}

\sqrt[5]{64}

2 \sqrt[5]{2}
of the ones listed, the 2nd and 3rd options are correct (
\sqrt[5]{4^3} and
\sqrt[5]{64})
