First we cancel the x in the bottom into the x⁴
in the top getting x³ in the top
Next we break the cube root of a quotient
into the quotient of two cube roots:
Next we want to get rid of the cube root on
the bottom. It contains 9 = 3*3. Let's write
9 as 3*3
We can make that 3*3 into the perfect cube 3*3*3
or 3³ by multiplying it by 3, so we multiply the
entire fraction by
Now we multiply numerators and denominators by
multiplying under radicals:
Now the denominator becomes just 3 and we write
the y⁴in the numerator as y³y:
Finally we take the x³y³ out of the radical in
the numerator and put xy in front:
