Answer

$64x^{\frac{3}{4}}y^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Work Step by Step

Raising each term in the expression to the power of $3$, we obtain: $(4x^{\frac{1}{4}}y^{\frac{1}{2}})^{3}$ =$(4)^{3}(x^{\frac{1}{4}})^{3}(y^{\frac{1}{2}})^{3}$ =$64(x^{\frac{1}{4}\times3})y^{\frac{3}{2}}$ =$64(x^{\frac{3}{4}})(y)^{\frac{3}{2}}$ =$64x^{\frac{3}{4}}y^{\frac{3}{2}}$
