Answer

$$3$$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: (1) For $a\gt 0, b \gt0$, $\sqrt[n]{a} \cdot \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{ab}$. (2) If $n$ is odd, $\sqrt[n]{a^n} = a$. (3) If $n$ is even, $\sqrt[n]{a^n} = |a|$. Using rule (1) above gives: \begin{align*} \sqrt[3]9 \cdot \sqrt[3]3&=\sqrt[3]{9(3)}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{27}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{3(3)(3)}\\ &=\sqrt[3]{3^3}\\ \end{align*} Use rule (2) above to obtain: \begin{align*} \sqrt[3]{3^3}&=3 \end{align*}
