Solution Steps
Step 1: Express the Given Expression
The given expression is
\[
8 m^{\frac{1}{5}}.
\]
Step 2: Convert to Radical Notation
To express the power as a radical, we recognize that the fractional exponent corresponds to a root. Specifically, the denominator of the fraction indicates the root. Thus, we can rewrite the expression as:
