=>32c^(17/2)x^332c172x3

Explanation:

We start with:

4c^4sqrt(64c^9 x^6)4c464c9x6

Taking the square root is equivalent to raising to the 1/212 power.

=>4c^4(64c^9x^6)^(1/2)4c4(64c9x6)12

=>4c^4(8c^(9/2)x^3)4c4(8c92x3)

Now we distribute the 4c^44c4 into the quantity we took the square root of.

=>32c^((4+9/2))x^(3)32c(4+92)x3

=>32c^(17/2)x^332c172x3
