Multiple Choice

As an analyst programming a material stress model, you need to simplify formulas containing higher-order roots, such as 40x4y53\sqrt[3]{40x^4y^5} and 48x4y74\sqrt[4]{48x^4y^7}. To pass the code review, you must correctly recall the rules for extracting variables. When simplifying the fourth root (which has an even index), what specific mathematical step must you apply to the extracted variables xx and yy that does NOT apply to the cube root?
