See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, rewrite the expression as:

#sqrt(x^3) => sqrt(x^2 * x)#

Then use this rule of radicals to simplify the expression:

#sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b))#

#sqrt(color(red)(x^2) * color(blue)(x)) => sqrt(color(red)(x^2)) * sqrt(color(blue)(x)) => color(red)(x)sqrt(color(blue)(x))#
