Answer

a.) $\sqrt[2]{x} $ b.) $3x^2$

Work Step by Step

$\textbf{Part A.}$ To determine the value of the expression use the rule: $\sqrt[n]{a^m} = a^{m/n}$ \begin{aligned}\sqrt[6]{x^3}&= x^{3/6}\\ &= x^{1/2}\\ &= \sqrt[2]{x} \end{aligned} The value of the given expression is: $$\sqrt[2]{x} $$ $\textbf{Part B.}$ To determine the value of the expression use the rule: $\sqrt[n]{a^m} = a^{m/n}$ \begin{aligned}\sqrt[4]{(3x^2)^4} &= \sqrt[4]{(3x^2)^4} \\ &=(3x^2)^{4/4}\\ &=(3x^2)^1\\ &=3x^2\end{aligned} The value of the given expression is: $$3x^2$$ ​
