Math Problem Statement

To use the Inverse Property of Radicals, we can rewrite \( \sqrt[3]{y^{12}} \) as

Solution

The problem asks how to rewrite y123\sqrt[3]{y^{12}} using the Inverse Property of Radicals. Here's the breakdown:

The cube root y123\sqrt[3]{y^{12}} can be simplified using the properties of exponents and radicals. Specifically:

[ \sqrt[3]{y^{12}} = \sqrt[3]{(y^3)^4}. ]

This is because y12=(y3)4y^{12} = (y^3)^4, and this matches the structure in the first answer.

Thus, the correct option is:

(y3)43.\sqrt[3]{(y^3)^4}.
