You must simplify the expresision given, as it is shown below:


1. The exponents can be simplify if they are divisible between index 4 of the root. So, let's decompose the number 144:


144=(2˄4)(3˄2)


2. Now, you have to divide the exponents between index 4.When you do this, you obtain:


[(144)(a˄12)(b˄3)]˄1/4

[(2˄4)(3˄2)(a˄12)(b˄3)]˄1/4

2a˄3[(3˄2)(b˄3)]˄1/4

2a˄3(9xb˄3)˄1/4


Then, the correct answer is the first option: 2a˄3(9xb˄3)˄1/4
