Let's simplify the following radical expression:


\text{ }\sqrt[8]{x^8y^4z^4}

We get,


\text{ }\sqrt[8]{x^8y^4z^4}
\text{ (}\sqrt[8]{x^8})(\sqrt[8]{y^4})(\sqrt[8]{z^4})
(\text{ x}^{(8)/(8)})(y^{(4)/(8)})(z^{(4)/(8)})
\text{ (x)(y}^{(1)/(2)})(z^{(1)/(2)})
\text{ x}\sqrt[]{yz}

Therefore, the answer is:


\text{ x }\sqrt[]{yz}
