Answer: 27

Explanation:

The expression given is inside a cube root. This is a simplified version of a fractional exponent, 1/3.

We can take the expression outside of the radical to get this:

3 ^ 9 ^ (1/3)

When an exponent is raised to another exponent, multiply the exponents and keep the base the same:

3 ^ (9 * 1/3)

3 ^ 3

The expression is equal to 27.
