For this case, we must simplify the following expression:


\sqrt [8] {x ^ 2y ^ 6}

By properties of powers and roots we have to:


\sqrt [n] {a ^ m}

It can be written equivalently as:


a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

Then, the previous expression can be written as:


x ^ {\frac {2} {8}} y ^ {\frac {6} {8}}

Simplifying we have:


x ^ {\frac {1} {4}} y ^ {\frac {3} {4}}

Returning to the radical form we have:


\sqrt [4] {xy ^ 3}

Answer:


\sqrt [4] {xy ^ 3}
