Simplify the expression and write your answer below.

(15 ^ (1/5)) ^ 5
 For this case, the first thing you should do is use the properties of the exponents to reduce the expression.
 We have then:
 (15 ^ (1/5)) ^ 5
 (15 ^ ((1/5) * (5)))
 (15 ^ (5/5))
 (15 ^ (1))
 15
 
 The simplified expression is: 
 15
 Thus:
 (15 ^ (1/5)) ^ 5 = 15
