Solution

Simplify the exponential expression.

  y .

Given:

The given expression is (x9y6)1/3(x6y2)1/2 .

Concept Used:

  • Exponential expressions are just a way to write powers in short form. The exponent indicates the number of times the base is used as a factor.

Calculation:

The given expression is (x9y6)1/3(x6y2)1/2 .

  (x9y6)1/3(x6y2)1/2=(x9)1/3(y6)1/3(x6)1/2(y2)1/2=x3y2x3y=y

Thus after simplifying the given expression (x9y6)1/3(x6y2)1/2 is y .
