Answer: Choice C
[tex](xy)^{1/2}[/tex] which is equivalent to [tex]\sqrt{xy}[/tex]
===============================================
Explanation:
The exponent for the y term inside the parenthesis is 1/6 and then that expression is raised to the 3rd power. The exponents multiply to (1/6)*3 = 3/6 = 1/2
This means [tex]\left(y^{1/6}\right)^3 = y^{1/2}[/tex]
Having an exponent of 1/2 is the same as applying the square root, so,
[tex]\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}[/tex]
Meaning,
[tex]y^{1/2}\sqrt{x} = y^{1/2}x^{1/2} = (xy)^{1/2} = \sqrt{xy}[/tex]
