$x^{\frac{3}{10}}$

Step 1.2

Apply the rule $x^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^{m}}$ to rewrite the exponentiation as a radical.

$\sqrt[10]{x^{3}}$

Step 2

Set the radicand in $\sqrt[10]{x^{3}}$ greater than or equal to $0$ to find where the expression is defined.

$x^{3} \geq 0$

Step 3

Solve for $x$ .
