Problem
Assume that 
is a positive real number. Which is equivalent to ![$\sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/b/6/bb6b6aec07627f5fe5db310965f0a81771c5a48e.png)
?
Solution 1
![$\sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^3}}=\sqrt[6]{x^3}=x^{3/6}=x^{1/2}\ \boxed{(D)}$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/b/9/0b9835f84d0ba8389cc915b1632ecf1d80034b10.png)
Solution 2
Let x = 64. Using substitution, ![$\sqrt[3]{64\sqrt{64}} = \sqrt[3]{64 \cdot 8} = \sqrt[3]{512} = 8 = \sqrt{64} = 64^\frac{1}{2} = x^\frac{1}{2}$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/d/1/cd1aed7439162534069e7d435b9201db4dc29cb6.png)
, so the answer is
