B)d=81

1) The best way to solve this question is to keep in mind that rational exponents can be expressed as roots.


d^{(3)/(4)}=\sqrt[4]{d^3}

2) Since this power is equal to 27 we can write out the following:


\begin{gathered} d^{(3)/(4)}=27 \\ \\ (d^{(3)/(4)})^{(4)/(3)}=27^{(4)/(3)} \\ \\ d=\sqrt[3]{27^4} \\ \\ d=\sqrt[3]{(3^3)^4} \\ \\ d=\sqrt[3]{3^(12)} \\ \\ d=3^{(12)/(3)} \\ \\ d=3^4 \\ \\ d=81 \end{gathered}

Note that we can use it the property whenever it is more conveninent. That is the answer.
