**Understanding Fractional Exponents**

This educational module is designed to teach you how to express radicals using fractional exponents.

### Instructions

You'll be required to rewrite the given expression \( \sqrt[3]{x^3} 3 \sqrt{y} \) using fractional exponents. This problem is presented in an interactive format, allowing you to input your answer directly.

1. **Read the given expression**: \( \sqrt[3]{x^3} 3 \sqrt{y} \)
2. **Convert each part of the radical expression into a form using fractional exponents.**
   - The cube root of \( x^3 \) can be written as \( (x^3)^{1/3} \).
   - Apply the properties of exponents to simplify \( (x^3)^{1/3} \) to \( x^{3 \cdot \frac{1}{3}} = x^1 = x \).
   - The square root of \( y \) is \( y^{1/2} \).

Therefore, rewrite the expression as \( x \cdot y^{1/2} \), or \( xy^{1/2} \).

### Interactive Tool

The interactive tool provided on this page features a visual representation to help you input fractional exponents correctly.

- **Input Panel**: There is an input panel where you can type your rewritten expression. The highlighted block (in purple) represents the input box for your answer.
- **Numerical Pad**: Below the input panel, there is a numerical pad with numbers and fractions to assist in typing fractional exponents accurately.

\( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -, +, \times, r, y \)

You can click on these buttons to build your expression.

### Example Interaction

To complete the exercise:

1. Use the numerical pad to input your answer into the purple input box. 

**Correct Answer**: The expression \( \sqrt[3]{x^3} 3 \sqrt{y} \) should be written using fractional exponents as \( xy^{1/2} \).
