The given expression is:


( \sqrt[4]{9} )^{ (x)/(2) }

We can change the radical sign to exponent, as shown below:


(9^{ (1)/(4) })^{ (x)/(2) }

The two exponents will be multiplied giving the following result:


(9)^{ (x)/(8) }

So, Option B gives the correct answer

Answer:

9^ (x)/(8)

Step-by-step explanation:
Before we begin, remember the following rules:
(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^ (1)/(n)

Now, for the given, we have:

\sqrt[4]{9} ^ (x)/(2)

Applying the above rules, we can simplify the given as follows:

\sqrt[4]{9} ^ (x)/(2)

9^ (1*x)/(4*2) = 9^ (x)/(8)

This is equivalent to the second choice

Hope this helps :)
