I’m not understanding the problem it says the numerator of the exponent is ?

Given:
Expression is
[tex]\sqrt[7]{y^4}[/tex]Required:
The numerator of the exponent.
Explanation:
We will use exponent formulas
[tex]\sqrt[b]{x^a}=x^{\frac{a}{b}}[/tex]Now,
[tex]\sqrt[7]{y^4}=y^{\frac{4}{7}}[/tex]Answer:
Hence, numerator of the exponent is 4.
