$(- 3^{\frac{1}{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}}}) (- 2^{- \frac{1}{2}} y^{\frac{1}{3}})$

Step 1

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$- 1 \cdot - 1 \cdot 2^{- \frac{1}{2}} \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 2

Multiply $- 1$ by $- 1$ .

$1 \cdot 2^{- \frac{1}{2}} \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 3

Multiply $2^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ by $1$ .

$2^{- \frac{1}{2}} \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 4

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cdot 3^{\frac{1}{4} y^{\frac{1}{2}}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 5

Combine $\frac{1}{4}$ and $y^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}} \cdot 3^{\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 6

Combine $\frac{1}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ and $3^{\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4}}$ .

$\frac{3^{\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4}}}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 7

Combine $\frac{3^{\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4}}}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}$ and $y^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

$\frac{3^{\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}}}{4}} y^{\frac{1}{3}}}{2^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
