Answer:


\sqrt[4] {x^3}

Explanation:

At this point, we can transform the square root into a fourth root by squaring the argument, and bring into the other root:


\sqrt x \cdot \sqrt[4] x =\sqrt [4] {x^2} \cdot \sqrt[4] x = \sqrt[4]{x^2\cdot x} = \sqrt[4] {x^3}

Alternatively, if you're allowed to use rational exponents, we can convert everything:


\sqrt x \cdot \sqrt[4] x = x^(\frac12) \cdot x^\frac14 = x^(\frac12 +\frac14)= x^(\frac24 +\frac14)= x^\frac34 = \sqrt[4] {x^3}
