Answer

$a^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Work Step by Step

Step 1: Since both the radicands multiply together, their indexes add to each other. Step 2: Denoting the missing exponent by $x$, $\frac{3}{3}=\frac{2}{3}+x$ Step 3: Therefore, x = $\frac{3}{3}-\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ Step 4: The missing expression is thus $a^{\frac{1}{3}}$
