Fill in the Blank

As an apprentice technician at an electronics manufacturing facility, you are studying an automated calibration model used to tune signal receivers. The training manual lists the primary scaling formula as (16x43y56x23y16)12\left(\frac{16 x^{\frac{4}{3}} y^{-\frac{5}{6}}}{x^{-\frac{2}{3}} y^{\frac{1}{6}}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}, where xx represents the input frequency adjustment factor. To configure the calibration software, you must simplify this formula step-by-step. According to the company's standard operating procedures, your first step is to apply the Quotient Property for Exponents to combine the xx terms inside the parentheses by subtracting the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent: 43(23)\frac{4}{3} - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right). After performing this subtraction, the resulting simplified exponent for the base xx inside the parentheses is ____.
