Answer:


x^(8)/(3) y^(16)/(3)

Explanation:

Given the expression
(x^4y^8)^(2)/(3), to simplify the expression using the rational exponents;

Applying one of the law of indices to simplify the expression;


(a^m)^n = a^(mn)


(x^4y^8)^(2)/(3)\\\\= (x^4)^(2)/(3) * (y^8)^(2)/(3)\\\\= x^{4*(2)/(3) } * y^{8*(2)/(3) }\\\\= x^(8)/(3) * y^(16)/(3)\\ \\The \ final \ expression \ will \ be \ x^(8)/(3) y^(16)/(3)
