Answer:

According to the expression written here, it simplifies to
9x^2

Or


x^(4)/(3)

Explanation:

The expression
3√(x^2)*3√(x^2) simplifies by multiplying like terms 3*3 and
√(x^2)*√(x^2). This means it becomes:


3√(x^2)*3√(x^2)   = 9 √(x^4)

A square root removes any terms inside which is a perfect square. The perfect square
x^4 = x^2x^2. This means the expression
9√(x^4) =9x^2

OR

If the expression is
\sqrt[3]{x^2} *\sqrt[3]{x^2} =\sqrt[3]{x^4}=x^(4)/(3) since a radical can be written with a fractional exponent.
