#color(magenta)(x^(19/4)y^(19/6)#

Explanation:

#((x^3y^2)^(3/2))/(x^-1y^(-2/3))^(1/4)#

#:.=(x^(9/2)y^(6/2))/(x^(-1/4)y^(-2/12))#

#:.=(x^(9/2)y^3)/(x^(-1/4)y^(-2/12))#

#:.=(x^(9/2)y^3)/(x^(-1/4)y^(-1/6))#

#:.=x^(9/2+1/4)y^(3+1/6)#

#:.=x^(9/2+1/4)y^(19/6)#

#:.=x^((18+1)/4)y^(19/6)#

#:.color(magenta)(=x^(19/4)y^(19/6)#
