We have the following:

I)


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

It´s true

II)


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

It´s true

III)


\begin{gathered} a^{(p)/(q)}=\sqrt[p]{a^q}=(\sqrt[p]{a})^q \\ (\sqrt[p]{a})^q=(a^{(1)/(p)})^q=a^{(q)/(p)} \end{gathered}

It´s false

IV)


\sqrt[]{a}

It´s true

V)


\begin{gathered} a^{(1)/(n)}=\sqrt[]{a^n} \\ \sqrt[]{a^n}=a^{(n)/(2)} \end{gathered}

It´s false
