Answer

$x^3y^6$

Work Step by Step

Use the rule $\left(ab\right)^m=a^mb^m$, then simplify to obtain: $(x^{4}y^{8})^{\frac{3}{4}}=\left(x^4\right)^{\frac{3}{4}}\left(y^8\right)^{\cdot \frac{3}{4}}$ Use the rule $\left(a^m\right)^n=a^{mn}$, then simplify to obtain: $=x^{4\cdot\frac{3}{4}}y^{8\cdot\frac{3}{4}}\\ =x^3y^6$ Hence, the correct answer is $x^3y^6$.
