Answer:

The answer to your question is: 4x²y³

Explanation:

Simplify ∛(-64x⁶y⁹)

First, find the prime factors of 64

64 2

32 2

16 2

8 2

4 2

2 2

1 then 64 = 2⁶

∛ (-2⁶x⁶y⁹)

Roots can be expressed as fractional powers where the numerator is the power of the number inside the root and the denominator is the root.

Ex. -2 ⁶/³ x⁶/³ y⁹/³

Now simplify

(-2)² x² y ³

Finally

4x²y³
