hey can i get some help from you guys?

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:
[tex](x ^ {\frac{1}{4}} * y ^ {16}) ^ {\frac {1} {2}}[/tex]
By definition of power properties we have to:
[tex](a ^ n) ^ m = a ^ {n * m}[/tex]
Then, rewriting the expression:
[tex](x ^ {\frac {1 * 1} {4 * 2}} * y ^ {\frac {16 * 1} {2}}) =\\x ^ {\frac {1} {8}} * y ^ {\frac {16} {2}}) =\\x ^ {\frac {1} {8}} * y ^ {8}[/tex]
Answer:
Option B
