$y^(1/2$

**If we consider that when an index is raised to another index we multiply the two together, such that: **

$(x^a)^b=x^(ab)$

Therefore, we can structure your given question like this:
$y^(3xx1/6$

$=y^(3/6)$

Simplifying the index, we get:

$y^(1/2$

How do you simplify (y^(1/6))^3(y^(1/6))^3?
