color(red)(sqrt(3/(27y^6))= 1/(3y^3))327y6=13y3

Explanation:

First divide the numerator and denominator by 33.

sqrt(3/(27y^6)) = sqrt(1/(9y^6))327y6=19y6

Remember that sqrt(x^n) = x^(n/2)xn=xn2

So sqrt(y^6) = y^(6/2) = y^3y6=y62=y3 and

sqrt(1/(9y^6)) = 1/(3y^3)19y6=13y3

sqrt(3/(27y^6))= 1/(3y^3)327y6=13y3
