Simplify the fraction inside the square root first. Maybe good things will happen to you!! Remember that when you divide, you must subtract exponents!
+sqrt%28%289x%5E14%29%2Fy%5E2%29%29+

Good things DID happen!! Notice that everything inside the square root sign is a perfect square!! Remember, when you take a square root of variables with exponents, you divide the exponents by 2!
+sqrt%289x%5E14%29%2F%28sqrt%28y%5E2%29%29+
%283x%5E7%29%2Fy+
