Problem

Assume that $x$ is a positive real number. Which is equivalent to $\sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}$ ?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ x^{1/6}\qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ x^{1/4}\qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ x^{3/8}\qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ x^{1/2}\qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ x$

$\sqrt[3]{x\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^3}}=\sqrt[6]{x^3}=x^{3/6}=x^{1/2}\ \boxed{(D)}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
