nth root can be written as a power of 1/n

eg x to the 7th root is also x%5E%281%2F7%29

so, your Q is %28x%5E2%29%5E%281%2F3%29%2A%28x%29%5E%281%2F4%29 which is %28x%5E%282%2F3%29%29%2A%28x%5E%281%2F4%29%29 which simplifies to x%5E%282%2F12%29 and hence to x%5E%281%2F6%29. This is then the 6th root of x ie there is a number that multiplied to itself and to itself and to itself...6 times equals "x".
