Answer:

Take the expression x^2/3 which has an exponent of 2/3. The top of the fraction refers to the power - that is x^2 ( x squared). and the 3 indicates a cubic root.

So in radical form it is ∛(x^2)

Converting radical to exponent an example would be

∛(x^5) = x^(5/3)

Explanation:

hope this helps.
