#(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#
