<h3>Answer:</h3>
The rules of exponents tell you ...
... (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c) . . . . . . applies inside parentheses
... (a^b)^c = a^(b·c) . . . . . . . . applies to the overall expression
The Order of Operations tells you to evaluate inside parentheses first. Doing that, you have ...
... x^(4/3)·x^(2/3) = x^((4+2)/3) = x^2
Now, you have ...
... (x^2)^(1/3)
and the rule of exponents tells you to multiply the exponents.
... = x^(2·1/3) = x^(2/3)
