Answer

$\sqrt[24]{x^{23}}$

Work Step by Step

Using $a^{m/n}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}$ and the laws of exponents, then, \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[3]{x}\cdot\sqrt[4]{x}\cdot\sqrt[8]{x^3} \\\\= x^{1/3}\cdot x^{1/4}\cdot x^{3/8} \\\\= x^{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{8}} \\\\= x^{\frac{8}{24}+\frac{6}{24}+\frac{9}{24}} \\\\= x^{\frac{23}{24}} \\\\= \sqrt[24]{x^{23}} .\end{array}
