Answer

$\sqrt[10]{a^{3}y^{7}}$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt[5]{a^{4}y^{6}} = (a^{4}y^{6})^{1/5}=a^{4/5}\cdot y^{6/5}$ $\sqrt{ay}= a^{1/2}y^{1/2}$ $\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt[5]{a^{4}y^{6}}}{\sqrt{ay}}=\frac{a^{4/5}\cdot y^{6/5}}{a^{1/2}y^{1/2}}\qquad$... apply $\displaystyle \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}}=a^{m-n}$ $=a^{4/5-1/2}\cdot y^{6/5-1/2}$ $=a^{\frac{8-5}{10}}y^{\frac{12-5}{10}}$ $=a^{3/10}y^{7/10}$ $=(a^{3}y^{7})^{1/10}$ $=\sqrt[10]{a^{3}y^{7}}$
