STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the expression (x13)(x16)\left(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)\left(x^{\frac{1}{6}}\right).
2. We need to simplify the expression to its most simplified form.

STEP 2

To simplify the expression, we will use the property of exponents that states when multiplying two exponents with the same base, we add the exponents.
xaxb=xa+bx^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}

STEP 3

Apply the property of exponents to the given expression.
(x13)(x16)=x13+16\left(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)\left(x^{\frac{1}{6}}\right) = x^{\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}}

STEP 4

Find a common denominator to add the fractions 13\frac{1}{3} and 16\frac{1}{6}.
The common denominator for 3 and 6 is 6.

STEP 5

Express 13\frac{1}{3} with the common denominator 6.
13=26\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}

STEP 6

Now, add the exponents with the common denominator.
26+16=36\frac{2}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6}

STEP 7

Simplify the fraction 36\frac{3}{6}.
36=12\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}

STEP 8

Now, we can write the simplified exponent with the base xx.
x36=x12x^{\frac{3}{6}} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}

STEP 9

The expression x12x^{\frac{1}{2}} is equivalent to the square root of xx.
x12=xx^{\frac{1}{2}} = \sqrt{x}
The most simplified form of the expression (x13)(x16)\left(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)\left(x^{\frac{1}{6}}\right) is x\sqrt{x}.
