(2x)/(3y^2)2x3y2

Explanation:

((8x^3)/(27y^6))^(1/3)(8x327y6)13 is the same as ((color(green)(2^3)x^3)/(color(green)(3^3)y^6))^(1/3)(23x333y6)13

Distribute the external exponent (color(red)(1/3))(13)into the exponents inside (for both numerator and the denominator)

((color(green)(2^3)x^3)/(color(green)(3^3)y^6))^color(red)(1/3)=(color(green)(2^(3*color(red)(1/3)))x^(3*color(red)(1/3)))/(color(green)(3^(3*color(red)(1/3)))y^(6*color(red)(1/3)))=(color(green)2x)/(color(green)3y^2)(23x333y6)13=2313x3133313y613=2x3y2
