Answer:
2a^3\sqrt[4]{9b^3} is equivalent to
\sqrt[4]{144a^(12)b^3}.

Explanation: Since, given expression,
\sqrt[4]{144a^(12)b^3}

Since, we can write,


\sqrt[4]{144a^(12)b^3}=\sqrt[4]{16*9* (a^3)^4 b^3} (because, a^{mn}=(a^n)^m


\sqrt[4]{144a^(12)b^3}=\sqrt[4]{(2)^4*9* (a^3)^4* b^3}


\sqrt[4]{144a^(12)b^3}=2a^3\sqrt[4]{9 * b^3}
