I need to write this in the simplest exponential form

1. 2\:\sqrt[5]{x^2}y^3
My answer is
-> (x[2]y[3])[1][/5]
-> 2(x[2]y[3])[1][/5] , is this correct?

2. I need to write this in the simplest radical form
2(x[1][/3] y[5][/6]) -> I dont know how to solve this can someone help me

Looking at the image, the error in each is with the final number.
1. As the number outside the radical is 2, within the radical sign it must be [MATH]2^6[/MATH] i.e. 64 (since [MATH]\sqrt[6]{2^6} = 2^\tfrac{6}{6} = 2[/MATH])
2. The number outside the bracket is 2, so within the bracket should be [MATH]2^5[/MATH] i.e. 32 (since [MATH](2^5)^\tfrac{1}{5} = 2^\tfrac{5}{5} = 2[/MATH])

So, which means the only error in the problem is problem #2, right?
 
There's a problem in both #1 and #2.
1. [MATH]\hspace2ex \sqrt[6]{64x^2y^5}[/MATH]2.[MATH]\hspace2ex \left( 32x^2y^3 \right)^{\tfrac{1}{5}}[/MATH]for the reasons given above.
(Assuming this is what they consider to be simplest form).
 
Oh I see

Oh, I see, but can you give me the steps by steps on how did you arrive at your given answer. I really appreciate your effort.
 
1.
[MATH] \begin{align*} \hspace2ex 2\left( x^{\frac{1}{3}} y^{\frac{5}{6}} \right) & =64^{\frac{1}{6}}x^{\frac{1}{3}}y^{\frac{5}{6}}\\ & =64^{\frac{1}{6}}x^{\frac{2}{6}}y^{\frac{5}{6}}\\ & =(64x^2y^5)^{\frac{1}{6}}\\ & =\sqrt[6]{64x^2y^5}\\ \end{align*}[/MATH]
2.
[MATH] \begin{align*} \hspace2ex 2\sqrt[5]{x^2y^3} & =32^\frac{1}{5}x^\frac{2}{5}y^\frac{3}{5}\\ & =(32x^2y^3)^\frac{1}{5}\\ \end{align*}[/MATH]

Thank you very much
