Answer

$2y^{\frac{3}{4}}$

Work Step by Step

$\sqrt[4]{16y^{3}}\qquad$...write in exponential form, $\sqrt[n]{a^{m}}=a^{\frac{m}{n}}$ $=(16y^{3})^{\frac{1}{4}}\qquad$...use power of a product. $=16^{\frac{1}{4}}(y^{3})^{\frac{1}{4}}\qquad$...simplify. $=(2^{4})^{\frac{1}{4}}y^{\frac{3}{4}}$ $=2y^{\frac{3}{4}}$
