Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
Choice B.
Discussion:
From the first step
324 x^6 y^ 8 =
2^2 * 3^4 * x^2 * x^4* y^8
so the fourth root of this is
2 ^(2/4)* 3^(4/4) x^(2/4)* x^(4/4)*y^(8/4) =
2^ (1/2) * 3^1 * x^(1/2) * x^(1)* y^ (2) =
(2x)^(1/2) * 3 * x * y^2 =
3 * x * y^2 * sqrt(2x) =
3 * x * y^2 * ( (2x)^2) ^ (1/4)) =
3 * x * y^2 * (4x^2) ^ (1/4)
which is choice B
Thank you,
MrB
