Answer

$\sqrt {c}\sqrt[6]{d^{5}}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(cd)^{\frac{1}{2}}(d^{\frac{1}{3}})$ Raise the quotient to a power. $=c^{\frac{1}{2}}d^{\frac{1}{2}}\cdot d^{\frac{1}{3}}$ Add exponents of powers with the same base. $=c^{\frac{1}{2}}d^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}}$ Simplify. $=c^{\frac{1}{2}}d^{\frac{3}{6}+\frac{2}{6}}$ $=c^{\frac{1}{2}}d^{\frac{3+2}{6}}$ $=c^{\frac{1}{2}}d^{\frac{5}{6}}$ Write in radical form. $=\sqrt {c}\sqrt[6]{d^{5}}$.
