$6 x^{\frac{1}{4}} y^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Step 1

Apply the rule $x^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^{m}}$ to rewrite the exponentiation as a radical.

$6 \sqrt[4]{x^{1}} y^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Step 2

Apply the rule $x^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{x^{m}}$ to rewrite the exponentiation as a radical.

$6 \sqrt[4]{x^{1}} \sqrt{y^{1}}$

Step 3

Anything raised to $1$ is the base itself.

$6 \sqrt[4]{x} \sqrt{y^{1}}$

Step 4

Anything raised to $1$ is the base itself.

$6 \sqrt[4]{x} \sqrt{y}$
