when multiplying add the numerals together
so
45
then add the exponents
(45x^6w^7)^1/2
then pull out the doubles
6x^3w^3(w)^1/2

The site below has a good description of exponent rules.
Remember :
1) Multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents
2) Raising powers to a new power - multiply the exponents.
3) (ab)^x = a^x * b^x
4) Square root of x = x^(1/2)
So
(3xw^3)^(1/2) * (15x^5w^4)^(1/2)
= 3^(1/2) * x^(1/2) * w^(3/2) * 3^(1/2) * 5^(1/2) * x^(5/2) * w^(4/2)
= 3^(1/2 + 1/2) * 5^(1/2) * x^(1/2 + 5/2) * w^(3/2 + 4/2)
= 3√5 x^3*w^(7/2)
= 3√5x^3√(w^7)

square root of 3xw^3 by the square root of 15x^5w^4.
=square root of (3xw^3 by 15x^5w^4.)
=square root of (3xw^3/15x^5w^4.)
=sqrt( 3/15 x/x^5 w^3/w^4)
sqrt( 1/5 1/x^4 1/ w)
= 1/x^2 sqrt (1/ 5w)

sqrt(3xw^3)*sqrt(15x^5w^4) = sqrt((3xw^3)(15x^5w^4))
= sqrt(45x^6w^7) = 3x^3sqrt(5w^7) = 3sqrt(5)(x^3)w^(7/2)

in accordance to the surds and indices, the manufactured from capacity of a variable with capacity is likewise elevated i.e. (x^a)^b = x^ab So, given (x^3)^3/4 = (x)^3*3/4 = x^9/4 for this reason, (x^3)^3/4 = x^9/4 desire it helps u lot!

Can you explain the question a little more? I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do
