The image shows a series of mathematical expressions involving radicals and exponents. Let's simplify them step by step.

### (a) \(\sqrt{x^3} \times \sqrt[3]{x^2}\)

We can express both square roots and cube roots as fractional exponents:
\[
\sqrt{x^3} = x^{3/2}, \quad \sqrt[3]{x^2} = x^{2/3}
\]
Now multiply the two expressions:
\[
x^{3/2} \times x^{2/3} = x^{3/2 + 2/3}
\]
To add the exponents, find a common denominator:
\[
\frac{3}{2} = \frac{9}{6}, \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6}, \quad \text{so} \quad \frac{9}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{13}{6}
\]
Thus, the result is:
\[
x^{13/6}
\]

### (c) \(\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x} \times \sqrt[3]{x}\)

First, express the square and cube roots as fractional exponents:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{x}}{x} = \frac{x^{1/2}}{x} = x^{1/2 - 1} = x^{-1/2}, \quad \sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}
\]
Now multiply the two expressions:
\[
x^{-1/2} \times x^{1/3} = x^{-1/2 + 1/3}
\]
To add the exponents, find a common denominator:
\[
\frac{-1}{2} = \frac{-3}{6}, \quad \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}, \quad \text{so} \quad \frac{-3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{-1}{6}
\]
Thus, the result is:
\[
x^{-1/6}
\]

### (e) \(\frac{\sqrt{xy}}{y} \times \sqrt[3]{xy}\)

Express the square root and cube root:
\[
\frac{\sqrt{xy}}{y} = \frac{(xy)^{1/2}}{y} = x^{1/2} y^{1/2 - 1} = x^{1/2} y^{-1/2}, \quad \sqrt[3]{xy} = (xy)^{1/3} = x^{1/3} y^{1/3}
\]
Now multiply the two expressions:
\[
x^{1/2} y^{-1/2} \times x^{1/3} y^{1/3} = x^{1/2 + 1/3} y^{-1/2 + 1/3}
\]
Add the exponents for both \(x\) and \(y\):
\[
x: \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}, \quad y: \frac{-1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{-3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{-1}{6}
\]
Thus, the result is:
\[
x^{5/6} y^{-1/6}
\]

### (g) \(\frac{y^2}{\sqrt{xy^3}} \times \frac{x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2y}}\)

First, express all square and cube roots:
\[
\frac{y^2}{\sqrt{xy^3}} = \frac{y^2}{(xy^3)^{1/2}} = \frac{y^2}{x^{1/2} y^{3/2}} = x^{-1/2} y^{2 - 3/2} = x^{-1/2} y^{1/2}
\]
\[
\frac{x}{\sqrt[3]{x^2y}} = \frac{x}{(x^2 y)^{1/3}} = \frac{x}{x^{2/3} y^{1/3}} = x^{1 - 2/3} y^{-1/3} = x^{1/3} y^{-1/3}
\]
Now multiply the two expressions:
\[
x^{-1/2} y^{1/2} \times x^{1/3} y^{-1/3} = x^{-1/2 + 1/3} y^{1/2 - 1/3}
\]
Add the exponents for both \(x\) and \(y\):
\[
x: \frac{-1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{-3}{6} + \frac{2}{6} = \frac{-1}{6}, \quad y: \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{6} - \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{6}
\]
Thus, the result is:
\[
x^{-1/6} y^{1/6}
\]
