Solve for a positive value of xx, expressing your answer with a radical symbol.
xx =

To solve the equation given in your problem, we start with the expression you provided:

\[ x = 16^{\frac{1}{6}} \]

Now, we need to express \( x \) as a radical.

The expression \( 16^{\frac{1}{6}} \) can be rewritten using radicals. Since \( 16 = 2^4 \), we have:

\[ x = (2^4)^{\frac{1}{6}} = 2^{\frac{4}{6}} = 2^{\frac{2}{3}} \]

Now, expressing \( 2^{\frac{2}{3}} \) as a radical:

\[ 2^{\frac{2}{3}} = \sqrt[3]{2^2} = \sqrt[3]{4} \]

Thus, the positive value of \( x \) expressed with a radical symbol is:

\[ x = \sqrt[3]{4} \]

So, the final answer is:

\[ x = \sqrt[3]{4} \]
