Step 3.1.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt[3]{a}$ as $a^{\frac{1}{3}}$ .

$a (a^{\frac{1}{3}} \sqrt{a})$

Step 3.1.2

Rewrite $a^{\frac{1}{3}}$ as $a^{\frac{2}{6}}$ .

$a (a^{\frac{2}{6}} \sqrt{a})$

Step 3.1.3

Rewrite $a^{\frac{2}{6}}$ as $\sqrt[6]{a^{2}}$ .

$a (\sqrt[6]{a^{2}} \sqrt{a})$

Step 3.1.4

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{a}$ as $a^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$a (\sqrt[6]{a^{2}} a^{\frac{1}{2}})$

Step 3.1.5

Rewrite $a^{\frac{1}{2}}$ as $a^{\frac{3}{6}}$ .

$a (\sqrt[6]{a^{2}} a^{\frac{3}{6}})$

Step 3.1.6

Rewrite $a^{\frac{3}{6}}$ as $\sqrt[6]{a^{3}}$ .

$a (\sqrt[6]{a^{2}} \sqrt[6]{a^{3}})$

Step 3.2

Combine using the product rule for radicals.

$a \sqrt[6]{a^{2} a^{3}}$

Step 3.3

Multiply $a^{2}$ by $a^{3}$ by adding the exponents.
