The way you know how to set this up is:

     Always think of the denominator in the fraction as the type of square root. In this fraction 5/2 : √ imagen a 2 there. 
     Say the fraction was 5/22. What would be on the box of the square root? 
               "       ^5√          "   It would be five. Get it?

    The bottom of the fration will always be the exponent of the origianal problem. In this case 17.
    Had it have been 68^1/2, the base would have been 68.

 In 17^5/2, the exponent is 2, because it's on the bottom. Now you multipy the 17, which is under the √ to have a √17^2, and solve from there as you know.
