Learn how to simplify the 5th root of an expression with numbers and variables

The video tutorial explains how to simplify a radical expression, specifically the fifth root of 32 times Y to the fifth power. It begins by discussing the concept of square roots and extends it to fifth roots. The tutorial covers two methods: prime factorization and rewriting numbers as powers. It demonstrates the simplification of 32 using prime factorization and explains how to simplify Y to the 15th power by breaking it down into Y to the fifth power. The video concludes with the final simplification of the expression to 2Y cubed.
