Step 1.1

Raise $a$ to the power of $1$ .

$a^{\frac{1}{4}} a^{1}$

Step 1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$a^{\frac{1}{4} + 1}$

Step 2

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$a^{\frac{1}{4} + \frac{4}{4}}$

Step 3

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$a^{\frac{1 + 4}{4}}$

Step 4

Add $1$ and $4$ .

$a^{\frac{5}{4}}$
