The exact value of (10^(1/3))^(1/2) is 10^(1/6) which is the sixth root of 10.

Explanation:

(a^2)^2 can be rewritten to a^4.

If it's hard to imagine, think of it like this:
(a^2)^2 = (a^2) * (a^2) = a * a * a * a

Just add up the exponents!
EDIT: I meant multiply them.. oops
(10^(1/3))^(1/2) = 10^(1/3 * 1/2) = 10^(1/6)
