Answer :
We are given the expression:
(a^ (1/2) * b^(1/3)) ^ (1/2)
The first step would be to simplify the figures in the inner parenthesis,
= (a^0.5 * b^0.33)^0.5
= (a^(0.5*0.5) * b(0.33 * 0.5))
= (a^0.25 * b^0.167)
The final expression is a^(1/4) * b^(1/6)
(a^ (1/2) * b^(1/3)) ^ (1/2)
The first step would be to simplify the figures in the inner parenthesis,
= (a^0.5 * b^0.33)^0.5
= (a^(0.5*0.5) * b(0.33 * 0.5))
= (a^0.25 * b^0.167)
The final expression is a^(1/4) * b^(1/6)
