Answer 1

Answer: $\sqrt[5]{y}$

I realize its probably not the largest readable font. If you are having trouble reading it, it is the square root of y; however, there is a tiny little 5 in the upper left corner to indicate a fifth root. So you would read it out as "the fifth root of y"

The rule I'm using is

$x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}$

and the more general rule we could use is

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

where m = 1. This rule helps convert from rational exponent form (aka fractional exponents) to radical form.
