Answer:
To find the fifth root of the variable \( x \) and store the result in the variable \( y \), you can use the following statement:
\[ y = x^{1/5} \]
This statement raises the variable \( x \) to the power of \( \frac{1}{5} \), which calculates the fifth root of \( x \), and assigns the result to the variable \( y \).
