Learning how to simplifying a number raised to a rational power

The video tutorial explains how to solve a mathematical problem involving the expression -, 27. It begins by rewriting the expression as a radical and suggests using a calculator for simplification. An alternative method is introduced, focusing on eliminating the rational exponent by rewriting -, 27 as -, 3 to the third power. The tutorial emphasizes the application of exponent rules to simplify the expression, ultimately arriving at the solution of 9.
