Answer

$\sqrt[3]{x}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x}=\sqrt[3]{x^2}$

Work Step by Step

Using $\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot\sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{ab}$, the expression $ \sqrt[3]{x}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x} $ is equivalent to \begin{align*} & \sqrt[3]{x\cdot x} \\&= \sqrt[3]{x^2} .\end{align*} Hence, $\sqrt[3]{x}\cdot\sqrt[3]{x}$ is equal to $\sqrt[3]{x^2}$ and not equal to $x$.
