Simplify ((m^2)/(m^(1/3)))^(-1/2)

${(\frac{m^{2}}{m^{\frac{1}{3}}})}^{- \frac{1}{2}}$

Move $m^{\frac{1}{3}}$ to the numerator using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{n}} = b^{- n}$ .

${(m^{2} m^{- \frac{1}{3}})}^{- \frac{1}{2}}$

Multiply $m^{2}$ by $m^{- \frac{1}{3}}$ by adding the exponents.

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

${(m^{2 - \frac{1}{3}})}^{- \frac{1}{2}}$

To write $2$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{3}{3}$ .

${(m^{2 \cdot \frac{3}{3} - \frac{1}{3}})}^{- \frac{1}{2}}$

Combine $2$ and $\frac{3}{3}$ .

${(m^{\frac{2 \cdot 3}{3} - \frac{1}{3}})}^{- \frac{1}{2}}$
