Answer:

9

Explanation:

n=3, a=729

For any odd integer, n ; a will have only one real nth root which will be a positive integer.

Similarly, for any integer, n, that is > 1 ; related by the expression ;

p^n = a ; the nth root of a = p

Therefore,

If n = 3 ; a = 729

p^3 = 729

To obtain the value of p ; take the cube of both sides

(p^3)*1/3 = 729^1/3

p = 9

Hence, the real nth root of 729 is +9 when n = 3
