what seems to be the problem?

cube root of 10^-6 = (10^-6)^(1/3) = (10)^(-6*1/3) = 10^-2

10^-6 = 1/1000000 = 1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10*1/10

cube root of a*a*a*a*a*a = a*a

cube root of 10^-6 = 1/10*1/10 = 1/10^2 = 10^-2

sqrt(cube root(.000064))

.000064=64*10^-6=4^3*10^-6
taking cube root bth side=4*10^-2
taking sqrt 2*10^-1=2/10=0.2

cube root of 10^-6=[10]^(-6/3)=10^-2
