(9y^6) ^(3/2) can be written as sqrt((9y^6))^3
It simplifies to 27y^9

Explanation:

One of the laws of indices states that x^(p/q) = rootq(x)^p

(The denominator or the index is the root and the numerator is the power)

(9y^6) ^(3/2) can be written as sqrt((9y^6))^3

This can be simplified:
=(3y^3)^3

=27y^9
