$$\left( {\bf{a}} \right)1.8881,\,\,\,\left( {\bf{b}} \right)0.9381$$

$$\eqalign{ & \left( {\bf{a}} \right)\root 5 \of {24} ,\,\,\,\,\left( {\bf{b}} \right)\root 8 \of {0.6} \cr & {\text{Using a calculating utility and rounding the answer to four decimal places,}} \cr & {\text{we obtain }} \cr & \root 5 \of {24} \approx 1.8881 \cr & \root 8 \of {0.6} \approx 0.9381 \cr} $$
