Answer: OPTION 4.

Explanation:

By definition, Radical expressions are those that use a root.

In this case you have this expression:


a^{(4)/(9)

In order to find the radical expression of
a^{(4)/(9), it is important to remember that:


a^(m)/(n)=\sqrt[n]{a^m}

Therefore, once you apply this, you get:


a^{(4)/(9)=\sqrt[9]{a^4}

You can observe that it matches with the expression provided in Option 4.

For this case we must find an expression equivalent to:


a ^ {\frac {4} {9}}

By definition of properties of powers and roots we have:


\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So, rewriting the expression we have:


\sqrt [9] {a ^ 4}

Answer:

Option 4
