ANSWER

The equivalent form is 8.

Step-by-step explanation

The given expression is


({16}^{ (3)/(2) } )^{ (1)/(2) }

This is the same as:


{16}^{ (3)/(2) * (1)/(2) }


{16}^{ (3)/(4)}


{16}^{ (3)/(4)} = { {2}^(4 * ) }^{ (3)/(4)}

We cancel out the common factors in the exponents to get,


{2}^(3) = 8

The correct answer is B.
