a^5 = 3125
a = the 5th root of 3125
3125 = 125 times 25 = 5^3 x 5^2 = 5^5
a = 5
5^5 = 3125
best way to do this is maybe go on online to Desmos
and find the 5th root of 3125
5^5 = 5x5x5x5x5 = 3125

I found out that how you do it is you divide your answer by your exponent and your quotient will be your answer to the problem.03/05/22
