The formula to calculate the fifth root is:
\[ \sqrt[5]{X} = X^{1/5} = Y \]
Where:
A fifth root is defined as a number that, when multiplied by itself five times, yields the original number that the fifth root was taken of. For example, the fifth root of 32 is 2 because \(2^5 = 32\).
Example:
Step 1: Calculate the fifth root:
\[ \sqrt[5]{32} = 32^{1/5} = 2 \]
