One thing youshould know is that:
[tex]a ^ {\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n] {a ^ m}[/tex]
For example:
[tex]25 ^ {\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{25} = 5[/tex]
[tex]5 ^ {\frac{3}{2}} = \sqrt{5 ^ 3} = \sqrt{125}[/tex].
Now what's:
[tex]8 ^ {\frac{2}{3}} \quad \mbox{and} \quad 9 ^ {\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]?
Can you go from here? :)
