Problem
What is the value of 
?
![$\textbf{(A)}\; 5 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\; \sqrt[4]{2015} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\; 625 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\; 2015 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\; \sqrt[4]{5^{2015}}$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/1/2/9123c6861615bbff4b77a8e0d9774474701447a6.png)
Solution 1
Solution 2
We can rewrite 
as as 
. Thus, 
Solution 3
~ cxsmi
