Answer

$125x^{6}$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}=(\sqrt[n]{a})^m$, the given expression, $ (25x^4)^{3/2} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \sqrt[]{(25x^4)^3} \\\\= \left( \sqrt[]{25x^4} \right)^3 \\\\= \left( \sqrt[]{(5x^2)^2} \right)^3 \\\\= \left( 5x^2 \right)^3 \\\\= 5^3x^{2(3)} \\\\= 125x^{6} .\end{array}
