(root(3)(2))(root(3)(ab)) = (2^(1/3))((ab)^(1/3))" or " (2ab)^(1/3)

Explanation:

SInce b^m*b*n*b*p = b^(m+n+p)
then b^(1/3) * b^(1/3) * b^(1/3) = b^1

also root(3)(b) * root(3)(b) * root(3)(b) = b^1

So root(3)(b) is the same as b^(1/3)

Replacing b with 2 and then with ab lets us derive the given solution.
