Let   a¹/⁵ = x  then    a³/⁵ = x³    and     a⁻³/⁵  = 1/x³

given   x = 3 + 2 √2
        x³ = (3 + 2√2)³ = 27 + 2³ * 2√2  + 3 * 3² * (2√2) + 3 * 3 (2√2)²
            = 99 + 70 √2

        1/x³ = 1 /(3+2√2)     Multiply the Nr and Dr  with (3 - 2√2) to rationalize the denominator.

1/x = (3 - 2 √2) /(3² - 2² * 2) = 3 - 2 √2

1/x³  = 3³ - 2³ * 2√2 - 3 * 3² * 2√2 + 3 * 3 * (2√2)²
       = 99 - 70 √2

Answer  is   99 + 70 √2 + 99 - 70 √2 = 198
