Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sqrt[n]{a^m}=a^\frac{m}{n}\\\\\large\huge\boxed{a^\frac{4}{9}=\sqrt[9]{a^4}}[/tex]

Answer:

The radical expression which represents a to the four ninths power is:

         Ninth root of a to the fourth power.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the radical expression for the word phrase:

             a to the four ninths power.

i.e. mathematically it could be written as:

[tex]a^{\dfrac{4}{9}}[/tex]

Now, we know that:

[tex]a^{\dfrac{m}{n}}=(a^m)^{\dfrac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{a^m}[/tex]

Here we have:

[tex]m=4\ \text{and}\ n=9[/tex]

Hence, the expression cold be written as:

[tex]a^{\dfrac{4}{9}}=\sqrt[9]{a^4}[/tex]
