5^(1/3 xx6/1) = 5^2 = 25

Explanation:

The power law of indices states:

(x^m)^n = x^(mn)

When raising a power to another power, multiply the indices.

This is exactly what we have here.

5^(1/3 xx6/1) = 5^2 = 25

25

Explanation:

(a^b)^c = a^(b*c)

Use the concept above to simplify the value.

(5^(1/3))^6

= 5^((1/3*6))

= 5^(6/3)

= 5^2

Now square 5.

= 25
