25^(3/4)=5*root(4)(5^2)2534=5452

Explanation:

The properties of Exponents tell us that:

a^(n/m)=root(m)(a^n)anm=man

and

(a^p)^q=a^(p*q)(ap)q=apq

and

a^h*a^k=a^(h+k)ahak=ah+k

then:

25^(3/4)=root(4)(25^3)=root(4)((5^2)^3)=root(4)(5^6)=2534=4253=4(52)3=456=
=root(4)(5^4*5^2)=root(4)(5^4)*root(4)(5^2)=5root(4)(5^2)=45452=454452=5452
