Since 125 can be written as 125=(5)(5)(5)=(5)3, the number 3125  is defined as

3125=5. 


Note: As opposed to 125  (the square root of -125) which is not defined, 3125  is defined. In other words, there does not exist any number x which satisfies x2=125, but there is a number x which satisfies x3=125.


Note: It is possible to write the calculation in the solution as

3125=3(5)3=(5)1=5 

but one has to be careful when one calculates using negative numbers and fractional exponents. Sometimes, the expression is not defined and the usual power rules do not always hold. Look, for example, at the calculation

5=(125)13=(125)26=(125)216=1562516=5.
