Remembering one exponential law which states that anm=man, we can rewrite the function as

3x2y3z7512x92y42z102

(As this is a square root, we have that, for the exponential rule, m=2)

Now, following another law of exponentials, we have that anam=an+m

3x(2+92)y(3+2)z(1+102)7512

3x132y5z67512

We can rewrite the element 7512 as (325)12=3122512

Thus, we can combine the first 3 with the just-factored 3:

(3)1(312)x132y5z675122512

As 2512=25=5,

5(3)1.5x6.5y5z6
