Answer

$x\cdot\sqrt[3]{a^{3}+b^{3}}$

Work Step by Step

... Radical of a product: $\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot\sqrt[n]{b}$ $\sqrt[3]{x^{3}\cdot(a^{3}+b^{3})}=\sqrt[3]{x^{3}}\cdot\sqrt[3]{(a^{3}+b^{3})}$ ... if n is odd, $\sqrt[n]{x^{n}}=x$... ... there is no formula to simplify the second factor... $=x\cdot\sqrt[3]{(a^{3}+b^{3})}$
