I would start by combining the powers into a single power, and simplify the fraction. \( \left( 3^{2/3} \right)^{1/6} \) We just multiply the powers together. And it seems that 2 and the 6 can be simplified a little. :)
i dont know how /.\
You know this rule about exponents? \( \left( a^b \right)^c = a^{b \times c} \) In our case, a = 3, b = 2/3, and c = 1/6. \( \left( 3^{2/3} \right)^{1/6} = 3^{\color{blue}{(2/3) \times (1/6)}} \) So focus on the exponent: \( \color{blue}{\dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6}} \) In fractions, you just multiply straight across, right?
i guess lol so
would it simplify as 1/3 ?
It won't make much sense unless it is clear! :p \( \dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{a\times c}{b \times d} \) \( \dfrac{2}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{6} = \dfrac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 6} \)
Not quite, there would actually be two 3's in the denominator multiplied together, so 1/9. \( \dfrac{\cancel{2}}{3 \times (\cancel{2} \times 3 )} = \dfrac{1}{9}\)
okay cx
is it B ?
So the last step is just converting back to the radical, which does end up being B. \( \displaystyle 3^{1/9} = \sqrt[9]{3} \)
